This small loch in Angus, is located nearly 610m (2,000 feet) above sea level.
It is a superb example of a mountain corrie. Although it is relatively small, the entire area around Loch Brandy creates a tremendous landscape, well worth the effortand a well earned cup of tea in the hotel afterwards.

Follow the cycle path, NCN 7, north to the site of the old Roman Fort at Bochastle before picking up the Great Trossachs Path past Samson’s Stone and Dunmore Hill Fort. You will get spectacular views over Loch Venachar before descending down to the Glen Finglas gateway centre at Brig o Turk, and onwards
If you are following the Overland Coast to Coast route recommended by Bikepacking Scotland and @Markus Stitz then Newton Bothy is only a short distance away and a great stopover point.
