Loch Earn, a picturesque freshwater loch in Scotland's Stirling council area, spans about 17 kilometres. Nestled in the scenic Trossachs region, it is a popular destination for water sports and fishing, you'll find a good stock of Rainbow and Brown Trout.

The loch has an unusual "tidal" system, called a Seiche. This is caused by the prevailing winds blowing wind down the valley, resulting in a build up of water at one end of the Loch. Other lakes, such as the much larger Lake Geneva, and Lake Garda also are homes to this phenomena.
