Tips

Sandwood Loch is a freshwater loch that is separated from the ocean by Sandwood Bay's dunes. It's a marvelous location, with the wild North Atlantic to the west and distant Cape Wrath to the north.

The loch itself is full of brown trout, which probably provided food to the folk who would have lived here before the Highland Clearances. By the loch is a ruined house which, according to local folklore, is visited by the ghost of a shipwrecked mariner who knocks desperately on the front door during stormy nights.
