Old Photograph Bracora Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Bracora, Loch Morar, Lochaber, Scotland. During the period of the Highland Clearances, many residents Scots emigrated to Canada. Boats left in 1790, 1802, and 1826, carrying people to Quebec, Glengarry in Ontario, and the Strait of Canso in Nova Scotia, Canada, respectively. In common with Loch Ness, occasional reports of large unidentified creatures in the loch's waters are made. The monster has been dubbed Morag. Loch Morar's fishing population is believed to be limited to Atlantic Salmon, brown trout and sea trout, Arctic char, eel, stickleback, and minnow.
