Loch Airigh na Beinne
water managed by Durness and Kinlochbervie Angling Club
Loch Airigh na Beinne lies on the Cape Wrath peninsula, set among open moorland close to the north coast. The largest water of the Daill River system and effectively its head loch, it is a small water of roughly 42 hectares, generally shallow with a mean depth around 5 metres and moderate alkalinity. The loch sits low in the landscape; its outline is varied but uncomplicated, with broad, open water between gentle curves of shore.
Access is via the Cape Wrath ferry at Keodale. From the landing, a moor track trends west for about 8 kilometres towards the Daill, and the river’s course provides a useful guide with a map to the loch. The Cape Wrath bus service may also be of use; make the driver aware of your intentions. These lochs lie within the Cape Wrath Danger Area and access may be restricted during military exercises.
