 | | From the hill of Tonlegee, overlooking this latter locality, was taken the accompanying view of Moytura House, the residence of the Author, erected in 1865; and so called after the ancient battle-field on which it stands, with Benlevi Mountain in the distance, and Loch Coirib in front. |
 | | This house commands a magnificent prospect to the west, south, and east, and can be seen from most parts of the middle lake. |
 | | To the west of Moytura is Leaca Fionna--"white flagstones"--the residence of Ormsby Elwood, Esq.; and still nearer to Cong, over a small bay of the lake, stands Lios Luachra--"the rushy liss," or earthen fort--the residence of William Burke, Esq. |
