There are a great many Coire an Lochains in the Scottish Highlands. This is because little lochans tend to form in glacially sculpted corries and, as exotic as Gaelic names often are, the translation often reveals the names to be pretty straightforward – 'the Corrie of the Lake’.
This particular Coire an Lochain is adorned by an absolute jewel. Here, Lochan a' Chreachain sparkles beneath the towering wall of Beinn a' Chreachain's north face. Impregnable for hikers, the main route to the Munro's summit ascends easier ground to the east.

The lake is a beautiful spot on the way up the hill to Beinn a'Creachan.
