King Fergus' Isle (3) - a photo on Flickriver

            This view looks north-eastward up Loch Laggan.  The building in the distance is Ardverikie House, made famous as the fictional Glenbogle Castle in the BBC series Monarch of the Glen.  It has been used in a number of other films and TV series - most recently it substituted for Balmoral Castle in 'The Crown'.  (It's a 19th century Scottish Baronial mansion, not a castle!)

As you look from here to Ardverikie, there is a small headland with a group of trees on the end of it, which, if the water level in the loch were higher, would be a small island called Eilan n'Cone, which means the Island of Dogs, and is said to be the place where the royal hounds were confined while their royal masters were feasting on venison on the near island, and consuming large quantities of Iron Bru!
