Maree', LOCH, a beautiful lake of Ross-shire, 40 miles W. of Dingwall. Lying 32 feet above sea-level, it is 12½ miles long, 3 furlongs to 2¼ miles broad, 360 feet deep, and 11 sq. m. in area. It is overhung by mountains, 3000 feet high; sends off the Ewe, 3 miles long, to the sea; and contains twenty-seven islets, one with remains of an ancient chapel and a graveyard. Queen Victoria's residence at Loch Maree in 1877 is described in her More Leaves (1884).
