Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Katrine in the Trossachs of Scotland. Loch Katrine a popular destination for tourists and day visitors from Glasgow and other nearby towns. The loch derives its name from the term cateran from the Gaelic ceathairne, a collective word meaning cattle thief. Historically this referred to a band of fighting men of a clan; hence the term applied to marauders or cattle thieves, the most notorious of whom was Rob Roy MacGregor who was born at Glengyle House at the northern end of the Loch.
