LOCH
LEVEN NEAR BALLACHULISH
Ballachulish
lies on the south side of Loch Leven, a mile or so west of the village
of Glencoe. This started life as Laroch in the 1500s. In 1693 slate was
first quarried here in the Ballachulish Slate Quarry (only a year after
the Glencoe massacre took place nearby). By the early 1700s this had developed
into a major slate quarrying operation which continued for over 250 years
until 1955, when the quarry closed. The quarry's name of Ballachulish
simply seems to have attached itself to the village over the years.
