Loch of Forfar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Loch of Forfar
Loch of Forfar is a freshwater loch lying on the western side of the town of Forfar, Scotland. The loch trends in an east to west direction and is approximately in length. The loch and area around it form ''Forfar Loch Country Park''. On the northern side of the loch there is a natural gravel projection which is named ''Queen Margaret's Inch'' or ''Saint Margaret's Inch''. The projection was named after Queen Margaret, the 11th century Queen of Scots. Several historical structures have been located on the Inch including a crannog and a chapel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Forfar Loch, St Margaret's Inch )〕 ==History== A crannog named ''Queen Margaret's Inch'' once stood on the loch. It was exposed when the loch was drained in 1781. Several items were then retrieved including silver earrings, bone chess pieces and bronze objects. It is thought that around 1243 a cell of monks from Coupar Angus Abbey inhabited the Inch and that ''The Chapel of the Holy Trinity'' and several houses were built.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Forfar Loch, St Margaret's Inch )〕
