A beautiful lake with a ruin on the slopes of Meall a Chràthaich. This is located at the high point of the trail connecting the Great Glen to Cannich. Rather than spend a night in the ruin here, the Bothy to the North, Corrimony Bothy, may offer a better night's sleep.

Beautiful hole. The ruin at the NE end of the lake is ideal for overnight stays

A 19th century shooting lodge and boathouse on the Corrimony estate. When it was built, the level of the loch was higher, at least up to the level of the ground floor, which was the boathouse section. The two upper floors were the accommodation. There is possibly another boathouse ruin where the original shore of the loch was, plus the remains of a causeway for access to what was an island. The level of the loch was lowered when the Glenmoriston hydro scheme was built in the 1950s.
