Clunie, a loch of Glenshiel and Kintarlity parishes, on the mutual boundary of Ross and Inverness shires, 16 miles W by N of Fort Augustus. Lying 606 feet above sea-level, it has a length from W to E of 43/8 miles, whilst its width varies between 1 furlong and ½ mile. At its head it receives the river Clunie, flowing 4¾ miles eastward, and at its foot sends off the river Moriston to Loch Ness; its northern shore is skirted by Wade's military road from Fort Augustus to Invershiel, and also, closer, by the more modern road thither from Invermoriston. A dreary, featureless lake, but one that affords good trout-fishing.Ord. Sur., sh. 72,1880.
