Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Black Loch

Black Loch, a lake in Blairgowrie parish, Perthshire, the first of a chain of three lakes, very near to one another, and extending in a line from E to W. It is mainly a morass or mossy pool, packed with aquatic plants, and possessing little area of open water; and it receives no influx of rivulet or rill; yet it contains such powerful springs that it sends off to the next lake a pereinnal stream voluminous enough to drive a mill.
