"The Lough, which is said to be about nine miles in circumference, is situated in the midst of high hills, which rise on all sides without the slightest appearance of cultivation and are covered with heath from the base to the summit. In its whole circuit there are only four houses to be seen, which being sitated on the side of the barren mountains, and at a great distance from one amother, instead of enlivening the scene rather tend to make it appear more melancholy."
