Loch an Eòin, Highland

Loch nam Faoileag, Sutherland

Uploader's Comments

Loch nam Faoileag (Gaelic: Seagull Loch) is a very small moorland Loch, barely the size of a swimming pool. Although named as a 'Loch' on the Ordnance Survey 25k map, waterbodies of this size in the Scottish Highlands are more often named as 'Lochans' (small Lochs) or are sometimes considered too small to even be named at all. Could this be Scotland's smallest Loch? At the time this photo was taken, the loch was more of a muddy pool following several days of warm dry weather.
