What an amazing place this is! We have enjoyed many walks here over the last 10 years. In answer to Rosalind's question, I believe the Lochan is called Lochan Torr an Tuill.

5Star rating chiefly because we came to the MOST beautiful lake with amazing reflections in the water and such peace it was truly magical. But,PLEASE can you tell me what it might be called? We came upon it on our way back down from the top...

We'd need a bit more info before we could tell you for sure (which route were you on, which direction were you heading) -but a good OS map should have the lochs named on it.

Beauitful walks through the forest and open areas. Was very boggy in some places but it was well worth pushing through. Stunning views over Loch Ness, and it felt like you were a million miles from anywhere. Amazing and very clean toilets too!
