It is not always easy to account either for their presence or their absence, for their numbers or scarcity, their eagerness to take or their ""dourness."" For example, there is Loch Borlan, close to the well-known little inn of Alt-na-geal-gach in Sutherland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
