Old photograph of Loch Katrine, Trossachs, Scotland. 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-lifters, the most notorious of whom was Rob Roy MacGregor who was born at Glengyle House at the northern end of the Loch.
