Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Coe

Coe, a river of Lismore and Appin parish, N Argyllshire, formed by a number of scaur-born torrents, 1000 feet above the level of the sea, and running 8 miles west-by-northward to Loch Leven at Invercoe. It traverses Loch Triochatan, on its way through the desolate defile of Glencoe; and its waters contain abundance of river and sea trout and salmon. Some writers suppose it to be the Cona of Ossian, who, says tradition, was born upon its banks.—Ord. Sur., sh. 53,1877.
