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.

Neish Island. We swim around it weekly, but it has a nice bit of history. canmore.org.uk/site/24437/neish-island-loch-earn
