Query

Can any reader of Acadiensis throw any light upon the origin of the name Loch Alva, applied to. the largest lake on the Musquash river in the Inglewood Manor? The name first appears along with the series of names from Scott's "Ivanhoe," given by Moses Perley in 1836, but Alva seems not to be in Scott, nor is there any Loch Alva in Scotland or anywhere. W. F. Ganong.
