Best Hikes to Loch Shandra

Tips

  • This man-made loch, created by damming the burn flowing down the glen, is a peaceful spot renowned for its excellent fly fishing opportunities, where anglers can catch wild brown and rainbow trout. The loch's name is believed to stem from the Scottish Gaelic term "Seantruibh," meaning "Old farmtoun" or "settlement," reflecting the area's deep historical roots. This connection to the Gaelic past adds cultural significance to the loch, enhancing its charm alongside its natural beauty and recreational appeal.
