Loch Borralan Water Kelpie
Loch Borralan is a freshwater loch in the
Assynt District of Sutherland.It has with wild
brown trout and char for fishing and is popular with tourists.It is about 7 metres (21
feet) deep. It is said to be the home of a kelpie.
Usually in the form of a horse,
kelpies live by lakes /lochs and tempt
passersby to ride on their backs.The rider finds themselves unable to dismount
.The kelpie then dives into the water,drowning the rider which it later eats. The
kelpie at Borralan is said to appear as a white steed.
The story goes that two fishermen went missing when fishing at the
side of the loch.The only things found by searchers were a brace of fish and two fishing rods.Large hoof prints were seen in
the sand .They appeared to come from the loch and disappeared back into the
water.
The Assynt area is a place of strangeness:
Loch Assynt is a few miles inland from
the west coast of the Scottish Highlands in Sutherland. In 1837 two fishermen claimed to see a strange
creature ,not once but twice.Also in the same area Loch Awe is a large fresh water loch . There have been
stories of a creature in the Loch going back hundreds of years. The creature is
said to come ashore during winter and can be heard growling and panting.
