Nant, Loch, a lake in Lorn district, Argyllshire, on the mutual border of Kilchrenan and Muckairn parishes, 4 miles NW of Port Sonnachan on Loch Awe. Lying 605 feet above sea-level, it has an utmost length and breadth of 7½ and 2¾ furlongs, and sends off a rivulet 5¼ miles northward to Loch Etive. This stream, running nearly parallel to the river Awe, along a narrow thickly-wooded glen, with precipitous sides, makes several waterfalls, passes Taynuilt village, and during the lower part of its course takes down the road from Port Sonnachan to Oban. Like the lake it affords good trout-fishing.Ord. Sur., sh. 45, 1876.
