 'Secret Lochs and Special Places' is a new book buy Bruce Sandison. Surely a must-read for everyone!

[attachimg=1]

Bruce is offering  a complimentary copy for the first correct answer to this question:

Where is the River E and why is it so named?

First correct answer  posted in this thread wins.


Inchlaggan

My part of the world.
East of Invermoriston across Loch Ness on the Corriegarth Estate, it runs northwest into Loch Mhor.
Local stories have it that when Wade was surveying his roads he got fed up with the Garlic names and just called them A,B,C,D, and thus E. The other story has it that they were deliberately looking for the shortest name.
'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

The River E is a river in the Highlands of Scotland. It begins in the north-west of the Monadh Liath, to the south-east of Loch Ness. It runs in a north-westerly direction for about 10 km, before flowing into Loch Mhòr.
The river has a small hydro-electric scheme. This run-of-the-river scheme has a capacity of 3MW, and is operated by RWE Npower. Construction of the scheme began in 2006, and it was commissioned in 2007.

I don't know the answers so can't say if any of the above are correct. Keep your answers coming in and Bruce will check them.

Pretty much. I knew my "local" stories but I needed to check that there was not another Loch E before making a fool of myself (again).

Flicked through it the other day. Looks a good read. I know someone has already bought it for my Christmas so I'm afraid I'll decline giving the right answer.
