Fyne — Chambers's Encyclopaedia

Fyne, LOCH, a sea-loch of Argyllshire, running 40 miles northward and north-eastward from the Sound of Bute to beyond Inveraray. It is 1 to 5 miles broad, and 40 to 70 fathoms deep. On the west side it sends off Loch Gilp ( $2\frac{1}{2} \times 1\frac{3}{4}$ miles) leading to the Crinan Canal. Loch Fyne is celebrated for its herrings.
