Ruthven, Loch, a pretty birch-fringed lake on the mutual border of Dores and Daviot parishes, Inverness-shire, 11½ miles S by W of Inverness. Lying 700 feet above sea-level, it curves 2¼ miles west-South-westward, varies in breadth between 1 and 41/3 furlongs, sends off a rivulet ¾ mile west-by-Southward to the Farigaig, and is perhaps the best trouting loch in the district.Ord. Sur., sh. 73, 1878.
