ARD, lake on south-west verge of Perthshire, skirted by road from Aberfoyle to Inversnaid. It is divided by a gorge into two lakes, larger and smaller ; it measures about 4 miles in length, and from 3 to 9 furlongs in breadth ; it shares much of the grandest mountain scenery of Lochs Katrine and Lomond ; it presents views ranging from the beautiful to the sublime ; it contains an islet crowned with a ruined castle of Murdoch, Duke of Albany ; and it has on its shores a number of ornate residences.
