Old Photograph Loch Sunart Scotland
Old photograph of Loch Sunart, Lochaber, Scotland. This Scottish loch runs west from the sea, bounded to the north by the Sunart district of Ardnamurchan and to the south by the Morverna brutta. A local legend holds that the absence of resident swans in Loch Sunart is the result of a doomed love affair between a Celtic chieftain and a local girl. When his mother, who opposed a marriage, turned her into a swan to thwart their love, the young man accidentally killed the swan while hunting. On learning of the swan's real identity he killed himself to join the swan at the bottom of the loch, which swans supposedly have shunned ever since.
