Encircled by lovely Scots pine and boasting fine Highland scenery, Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin is a gorgeous body of water. A minor road runs along its northern shore, while forestry roads take the Affric Kintail long-distance trail along its southern shore. Its islands were formed when the water levels were raised in the 1950s as part of a hydro electric scheme. Beyond the loch's western end, there are no more roads and Glen Affric becomes increasingly remote.
