Loch Fad (which translates as ‘long loch’) is a freshwater lake on the Isle of Bute that lies directly along the Highland Fault Line. The loch is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its birdlife and vegetation. From this spot on the causeway, you get a wonderful view over the loch nestled between rugged hills.
