ディーサイドとロッホナガールの湖・トップ9

Some small remote hill lochs and reportedly the spot where an old alder survives in this almost treeless part of the landscape.

Good camping ground on the side of the loch next to the Bothy

Lochnagar is an impressive hill. If going to the White Mounth beyond do not underestimate the walk back out.

Awesome scenery. Just visit.

Stunning 7.75 mile hike round Loch Muick on Monday. One side is a great track with stunning views of the loch and mountains, the colours of the flowering Heather was fabulous. Nice cuppa at lochside opposite the lodge. Track then takes you through lovely woods. Bottom of Loch track takes you over stepping stones to other side which was a harder walk because of stones and uneven ground. Walking poles recommended for this side. Great views across the Loch to the lodge and part views of lochnagar. Silly me stopped for a cuppa at rangers hut and got eaten alive by midgies! It took us 4 hours 10 minutes including a 15 minute lunch break.

A freshwater, upland loch, surrounded by steep hills. Home of freshwater fish, such as trout, salmon and eels.

Watch out for the tiny lock symbol on the path shown on the Komoot map. The path is blocked by a locked gate - easier to go back the way you came in.

Good parking area at the top of the path
