a stunning loch

About

Loch a'Bhraighe and Loch Torr na h-Eigin to its west are two large, joined lochs offering great sport in breathtaking surroundings.
Loch a'Bhraighe has a boat which is a distinct advantage in covering the large water.
Access is as for Lochan Fearna and Gorm Loch Mor from the track in Nedd and it is easy casting most of the way around, although the south eastern edge of Loch a'Bhraighe is very steep - try here from the boat.
Pop over to loch Torr nan Uidhean if you have time. AVOID WADING in these lochs as there are some very steep drops!
