About this water

Loch Bad an Fheur lies on the Cape Wrath Parph, set among open moorland close to the north coast of Sutherland. It is a very small, generally shallow water of roughly six hectares at low elevation, with moderate alkalinity. The loch sits in a simple basin with a gently varied margin and an average depth of about 5 m.

This is the first loch in the Daill River system, and runs of migratory fish move through the catchment. Access is by the Cape Wrath Ferry at Keodale; the Cape Wrath bus may also be useful if you advise the driver of your intentions. From the bridge at Achiemore, follow the river’s course with a map to the loch, the line trending west then northwest for about six kilometres across open ground. These waters lie within the Cape Wrath Danger Area, so access may be restricted during military exercises.
