Waltzing Waters, Newtownmore
The background to The Waltzing Waters...more at http://www.waltzingwaters.co.uk/history.html
Around 1930, German inventor Otto Przystawik invented the first musical fountains. In 1964 his son, Gunter moved to the U.S. and continued in his father's footsteps developing even more sophisticated designs. Today, grandson Michael Przystawik is company president of Waltzing Waters, Inc., the world's premier manufacturer of musical fountain spectaculars.
In Newtonmore, Scotland...
In 1979, the newly re-routed A9 motorway bypassed some of the tourist-dependent villages in the Scottish Highlands. Businessman Alex Donald knew something really new and different was required to draw tourists off the motorway into the village of Newtonmore.
While on holiday in Florida, he witnessed the Waltzing Waters. Stunned by its beauty and emotional appeal, he knew he found the perfect solution.
In 1990, Mr. Donald brought the show to Newtonmore and the Waltzing Waters quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the Scottish Highlands.

The board informs that this is a kettle hole loch, water collecting in a hollow left by melting glacier ice. There are mallards on the pond plus the surfing cat shown in Image A path accessible from the main road circles the loch.

Loch Imrich
A tiny loch [lochan really] in a deep hollow just to the east of the main road through Newtonmore. I'm sure my old school physical geography book from decades ago would describe this as a 'kettle hole lake', ie - one that has formed in a hollow made by a lump of decaying ice.
