Muirsherlich and the Inveruiskavouline (Kilmallie) Camerons


Partial View Of 1805 Map Of Scotland (Source - LOC)

Google Maps shows Muirsherlich just north of Fort William.

"The upper bank of the canal between Loy aqueduct and the high ground of Strone has been formed with earth removed from the latter place and the lower or southern bank is to be formed in like manner. This is now in operation by means of a railway and waggons."

The other ridge of ground half a mile beyond the Muirshearlich aqueduct furnishes earth for the banks of the canal between that place and Strone and this operation which will cause a sufficient depth of excavation at Muirshearlich may be expected to be complete at the end of the present year.

Note: It's been stated that the Muirshearlich and the Inveruiskavouline (Kilmallie) Camerons have the same Cameron ancestors.

Ben Nevis And The Lakes Of Scotland


Leaving Loch-Linnhe the road goes along the margin of Loch-Eil to its head; passing Corpach, or the field of dead bodies, the church and churchyard of Kilmallie are on the right. There a handsome obelisk has been erected to the memory of Colonel Cameron of Fassfern who was killed at the head of the 79th or Cameron Highlanders at Waterloo. A little farther on is the residence of his brother, Sir Duncan Cameron of Fassfern. Sir Ewen Cameron, his father, was created a baronet by his Majesty after the Colonel's death.

The drive along the shores of Loch-Eil is not without beauty, but the scenery has little variety; looking back, however, towards Fort William, when near the head of the Loch the best view of Ben Nevis is seen which can anywhere be obtained. [Source - The Lakes Of Scotland]
