Home of the wild Kelpie

On the south-western coast of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, lies Loch Coruisk, supposedly home of a water horse. At the southern end of this freshwater Loch, the Scavaig River discharges into a sea Loch, Loch na Cuilce. Loch Coruisk snuggles close to the center of the Cuillin Hills complex, younger than both the northern and southern formations of the Isle. At present, the neighbouring hills are dominated by Paleogene intrusive bytownite gabbros that are responsible for the jagged outline of the topography. Cuillin Hills forms the remains of an eroded magmatic chamber.
