    This smaller lake has fewer visitors than Loch an Elein.

      Loch Gamhna is a beautiful body of water lilies. The Thieves' Road north of Loch Gamhna was used centuries ago by cattle thieves as an access route to Strathspey. Hoping that the thieves would spare the herds, locals tied a few cows to a tree by Loch Gamhna, thus giving it its name.

        Perfect around early afternoons when the sunshine reflects on the water surface
