The amusingly-named Loch Lochy is a lovely expanse of water in Lochaber. The area was not always as peaceful as it is today. In 1544, the Battle of the Shirts took place on its banks. Later in 1665, another battle ended a 360-year feud between the Chattan Confederation and the Camerons.

According to folklore, a supernatural river horse lives in the freshwater lake. With an average depth of 230 feet (70 m), Loch Lochy could be hiding all sorts of creatures in its waters.
