About this water

Loch na Gainimh lies in the low ground of the Highland region, less than three kilometres from the coast. It is a small loch of roughly 20 hectares with a shallow profile and moderately developed shoreline featuring several bays and headlands. The water has low alkalinity, typical of these coastal Highland waters.

The approach follows a gentle route of just over three kilometres, tracking northeast across the moor before curving east to reach the southern shore of the loch.
