Loch Beanie, also known as Loch Shechernich, is a small, shallow freshwater loch featuring an island at its center, approximately 100 meters from the southern shore. The island contains a Crannog made from boulders and small stones, with less than a third of its surface visible above the water. Historical maps, including one by Timothy Pont from around 1600, depict a mansion on the island, described as the former dwelling of the chief of Glenshee and Strathardle. A later map by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1636–1648) also references this building. However, by 1747, the island’s significance and its structure had been largely forgotten.

A very scenic loch.
The track from the southwest starts near the activity centre as a good rough gravel farm track before deteriorating to a dirt track as the Allt Mor burn approaches. Dirt and grass track from the footbridge to the loch. Grass track, with hike 'n' bike east towards the Glen Beanie proper passing the beach at the loch's east side.
