Loch Sword

The Legend of Loch Sword has it that when Robert the Bruce of Scotland was fleeing the English troops pursuing him, he ordered all his men's heavy weapons be tossed into this small loch to lighten their load. A day later the two armies met in battle only a mile from this spot, and despite being only lightly armed, the Scots routed the English.
