Isle of Lismore lochs: preliminary study - Aug. 2016
(samples collected by D Jardine)
Lismore lies in the Firth of Lorn and is more fertile than most of the nearby Scottish mainland or islands, due to its limestone geology.
Its name in Gaelic means ' the big garden'. It contains 3 major lochs which have quite deep, fairly clear waters.
