A wild feeling high loch that sits on the slightly flatter land between the Cuillin mountains and the sea. The trail that walks along its northern shore is rough and rocky, but perfectly usable and allows a nice loop from the campsite.

Hiking

One of the many lochans one encounters on Skye. While it lacks the drama of the ones higher up, it offers sweeping views across the bay and the surrounding islands - all the more enjoyable due to the solid trail that leads past it.
