Loch Katrine
lake, Scotland, United Kingdom
Loch Katrine, lake, Central region, Scotland, located in the tourist district known as The Trossachs. It is about 8 miles (13 km) long and up to 1 mile (1.6 km) wide. Its surface is 378 feet (115 metres) above sea level, but it occupies a rock basin gouged out by a glacier, so its floor, 495 feet (150 metres) deep, is below sea level. Since 1859 it has been the main source of water supply for Glasgow.
