	Research Loch Ness - Project Report - 1975
		The village of Morar lies at the western end on the "Road to the Isles" but is screened from the greater part of the loch by hills and a group of wooded islands.
		The Loch Morar Survey, in analysing the behaviour of the creature, concluded that it does appear to frequent shallow water and particularly bays.
		The loch lies almost parallel to the prevailing westerly winds and a floating carcass could have been deposited at the eastern end or "head" of the loch.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
		Loch Morar (Scottish Gaelic: Loch MhÃ²rair) is a fresh water loch in Morar, Lochaber, Highland, Scotland.
		A team of experts was sent to the lake to analyze the case but was redirected to Loch Ness.
		Loch Morar was once famous for its prolific salmon and sea trout runs, but in common with most other freshwater systems in northwest Scotland these fish have been largely eradicated, and in many cases unique gene types are now extinct, due to biological pollution in the form of parasitic lice from sea cage salmon farms.

		And it is particularly striking in views across the River Morar from the south, seeming to be standing alone on a wooded hillside the conceals the rest of the village.
		Morar also offers a Thai Restaurant and a Roman Catholic church, plus a large garage at the foot of the hill near the northern junction onto the bypass.
		Morar as the village is less well known than Morar as the large and lonely peninsula on which it stands: and it is also less well known than Loch Morar, whose east-west gash nearly splits the peninsula in two.

	Morar
		Morar is a land where the ice age bit hardest, Not only did the ice surging from the great inland icecap carve out Scotland's deepest loch, but also several great passes, not high passes with a zig zag trail over a lofty ridge, but near sea level trenches cut clean through the hills.
		The best bit is by the loch, set between some of the steepest hillsides in the country, soon after the path vanishes and the glen opens out to the merely spectacular.
		Situated between Loch Nevis and Morar, with uninterrupted views to the west, I would expect great views off this hill, but of course I was there on a wet day, most days here are wet, and saw the usual internal organs of a ping pong ball.

	Last Laird of Morar
		His life is retraced and his associations with Morar, where reminders of him can be seen today with his headstone in the Kilmory Churchyard proclaiming him to be "Eneas Ranald MacDonell of Morar" and his striking portrait in Highland Dress painted by Robert Herdman in the Mallaig Heritage Centre.
		Well, he could not under the old system on which he held it afford to give more rent; the consequence was that the farm was taken over him; and the cruel thing was, that he was obliged to remove all the subtenants upon it who had been there for generations before him or his ancestors.
		This was a formal challenge to the rights of the five riparian owners who, for the sake of their fishing, were trying to control the boat journeys of local people in terms of named landing places.
