Silver Strand is the name of the beach on Lake Katrina, in Scotland mentioned
in William Scott's
LADY OF THE LAKE, a very popular book of the times.
Sir
Walter Scott (1771-1832)
Scott promoted a new image of Scotland as a place full of
Highland wildness and the vanished romance of the clans. He
put the
Trossachs firmly on the
visitor map after the publication of the verse-narrative
The
Lady of the Lake in 1810, filling the story with identifiable
features in the Trossachs area -hills like
Ben
Ledi and
Ben Venue, and features
around Loch Katrine. Visitors can still see
Ellen's
Isle and the site of now covered over Silver Strand.
