Default Bathymetrical Survey of the Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland, 1897-1909

If you fish Scottish lochs then this may be interesting to you.
It basically shows depths of the lochs so you know where the drop offs are etc.

Glad you like it.
It was my computer illiterate father who found it.
Go figure!
You can teach a old dog new tricks

Lots of information, i think only a few will appreciate it.

The holy grail for some pike anglers, and a worthy find for those of us who managed to discover it by hard work. you have gifted it to many lucky anglers by posting it up, be interesting to see how many realise its importance.

I think you are right about the pike fishers.
They are always looking for drop offs.

I was looking at the Loch Leven map and it shows sunken islands.
They must be hot spots.
Anyone confirm my guess?
