Abstract
Loch Muick (see fig. 1) lies at the head of Glen Muick, at a height of 1310 feet, on the property of His Majesty the King. On both sides of the loch the mountain slopes rise precipitously from the water's edge, and reach a height of 2400 feet on the south-east and from 2326 to 3352 feet on the north-west. The rocks surrounding the lake are granite.The loch trends in a N.E. and S.W. direction, and is miles in length, the maximum breadth being ½ mile at the north-eastern end. The maximum depth recorded is 256 feet, and the mean depth calculated from the volume of water is 111·69 feet, approaching the half of the extreme depth. The ratio of maximum depth to the length is 46.
