To the North Ben Cruachan frowns on the deep Pass of Brander, where the Awe flows out to Loch Etive: and the ruins of Kilchurn Castle conjure up memories of Highland deeds and traditions. The waters of Loch Awe abound in salmon and trout. Pleasure steamers run from end to end of it in connection with tours from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oban, etc." Reference ERO 53351.
