Loch Earn is in the west of Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland, out of which the River Earn flows east to eventually join the River Tay Estuary. Unusually, the loch has a tide-like phenomenon (though unrelated to the moon) called a ''seiching'', in which wind action over the surface of the water sets up an oscillating cycle resulting in a rise and drop of water levels over a 16-hour period. There exists a ruin called Loch Earn Castle, once the stronghold of the MacNeishes from the year 1250 to the mid-15th century. Reduced to plundering the country-side, the MacNeishes made the mistake of preying on the McNabs to the north, who responded with a daring raid that culminated in the utter destruction of the MacNeish clan. The McNab crest historically sports a depiction of the dead McNeish chief's head. | Loch Earn is in the west of Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland, out of which the River Earn flows east to eventually join the River Tay Estuary.

LOCH EARN REEL. AKA and see "Loch Earn." Scottish (originally), Canadian; Reel. Canada, Cape Breton. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Honeyman, Surenne): AAB (most versions). One of the better compositions by Biography:Nathaniel Gow (opines Francis Collinson), 1763-1831, who claimed 197 tunes; it is sometimes erroneously listed under Niel Gow's name (Skye) or as the ambiguous "N. Gow". It is certainly one of Nathaniel's most enduring compositions.
Loch Earn is in the west of Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland, out of which the River Earn flows east to eventually join the River Tay Estuary. Unusually, the loch has a tide-like phenomenon (though unrelated to the moon) called a seiching, in which wind action over the surface of the water sets up an oscillating cycle resulting in a rise and drop of water levels over a 16-hour period. There exists a ruin called Loch Earn Castle, once the stronghold of the MacNeishes from the year 1250 to the mid-15th century. Reduced to plundering the country-side, the MacNeishes made the mistake of preying on the McNabs to the north, who responded with a daring raid that culminated in the utter destruction of the MacNeish clan. The McNab crest historically sports a depiction of the dead McNeish chief's head.
