Loch Lyon - Izeria

Loch Lyon (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Lìobhann) is a freshwater loch in Glen Lyon, located in Perthshire, Scotland, which feeds the River Lyon, a tributary of the River Tay. Loch Lyon lies in Glen Lyon, that is the longest enclosed Glen in Scotland, stretching over 30 miles (50 kilometres) from Fortingall in the east to Loch Lyon in the west. Sir Walter Scott described Glen Lyon as the longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland.

Pubil

Pubil is a hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies to the north of the River Lyon in Glen Lyon, about 1 km (0.62 mi) east of Lubreoch dam which raises the level of Loch Lyon as part of the Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme. It is made up of Pubil House and eight cottages, which were built by the Hydro Board to recompense the Megernie estate for the flooding of a large area when the hydro scheme was developed. On October 2025 it was the epicentre of an earthquake of magnitude 3.6, which was followed by a series of smaller quakes. The British Geological Survey's Earthquake Information shows that in the 60 days from 22 October to 19 December there were a further 16 earthquakes centred on Pubil, out of a total of 60 earthquakes in and around the United Kingdom. Angus Macanleister, 7th chief of the Clan Fletcher, lived at Pubil in 1700. Pubil can be used as a starting point for walks including the ascent of the nearby 796 m (2,612 ft) Meall Phubaill (not to be confused with the 774 m (2,539 ft) Meall a' Phubuill northwest of Fort William). In 2007 competitors in the Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon overnighted at a temporary campsite at Pubil.
