Kinellan, Loch, a pretty lake (2¾ x ¾ furl.; 480 feet) in Contin parish, SE Ross-shire, 1 mile SW of Strathpeffer. It contains an artificial crannoge or lake-dwelling said to have been a stronghold of the Seaforth family; and is flanked on one side with fine arable fields, on the other with wild uplands. Near it is a remarkable echo, repeating distinctly an entire sentence.Ord. Sur., sh. 83, 1881.
