Loch Ericht (Scottish Gaelic, ''Loch Eireachd'') is a freshwater loch on the border between Perth and Kinross and the Highlands Council areas of Scotland. It is situated at a height of 351 metres above sea level and has a north-east to south-west orientation. The village of Dalwhinnie lies at the north east end of the loch. The loch is in length and has a surface area of approximately 7 square miles.〔(Loch Ericht, Gazetteer of Scotland )〕 Loch Ericht is the tenth largest freshwater lake in Scotland and has a good reputation for its trout fishing.〔(Fishing Loch Ericht, Welcome to Scotland )〕 The loch is part of a hydro-electric scheme and is dammed at both ends. Water flows into the northern end via the Cuaich Aqueduct. The southern end is linked to a hydro-electric power station at Loch Rannoch by the long River Ericht. The northern dam protects the village of Dalwhinnie from flooding. Loch Ericht is surrounded by a number of Munros, including Ben Alder (1148 metres) and Geal-Chàrn (1132 metres).〔(Heights of Ben Alder and Geal Charn, Mountain Days )〕 Traditional hunting areas border the loch. These are called forests; the chief of which is Ben Alder Forest. ==Mapping== Loch Ericht is covered by Ordnance Survey Explorer map 393 (1:25000) Ben Alder, Loch Ericht and Loch Laggan (ISBN 9780319239186) and Ordnance Survey Landranger map 42 (1:50000) Glen Garry and Loch Rannoch (ISBN 9780319231296). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loch Ericht」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
