Rescobie Loch is a post glacial fresh water body located in the Parish of Rescobie, to the East of Forfar, in the county of Angus, Scotland. The loch is fed by Lunan Water which enters from the West and exits to the East. ==History== Rescobie’s name may have originated from the Scottish Gaelic “Ros Sgolban” meaning "the wood of splinters or thorns“. Historically it has also been referred to as Rosolpin, Roscolpin, Roscolbyn, Roscoby and Rescobis.〔The New Statistical Account of Scotland Vol 11 page 596〕 Historically Rescobie's importance far exceeded its present day status.〔The New Statistical Account of Scotland Vol 11 page 602〕 Rescobie Loch is believed to be the location of Rescobie Castle also referred to as Barnsdale Castle. 〔http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=34901〕 There is no trace of the castle today. In 1097 King Donald III of Scotland was dethroned and held captive in Rescobie Castle where his brother Edgar blinded him in both eyes. He died in 1099 and was buried initially at Dunkeld Cathedral before being finally laid to rest at the Scottish Island of Iona and was the last of the early Scottish Kings to be buried there.〔http://www.britroyals.com/scots.asp?id=donald3〕 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「Rescobie Loch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
