Loch Ard
Loch Ard (Scottish Gaelic: Loch na h-Àirde) is a body of fresh water in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park of the Stirling District in Scotland. (.) ==Overview== The name of the loch comes from ''àird'', the Scottish Gaelic word for a ''promentory, headland, height'', ultimately from ''àrd'' meaning ''high''. The loch is approximately 4 kilometres long by 2 kilometres wide and runs approximately east-west along a sheltered glen. It is considered to be the source of the River Forth 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Loch Ard )〕 and lies downstream of Loch Chon. The loch contains several small islands including Eilean Gorm, Briedach, St. Mallo, which is rumored to have an old chapel dedicated to that saint, and Dundochill, which is the site of Duke Murdoch's castle that may have been built by the Duke of Albany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tour Loch Ard, Tour Scotland )〕 Though one of Scotland's smaller lochs, it is one of the most picturesque and its sheltered location means it is ideal for kayaking and other water sports.
