This small and attractive 6 acre loch is in the hills a mile above Dunoon (beside the A885 Sandbank road - free parking in a lay-by) and seems to be used mostly for freshwater fishing these days, although it's also nice just to sit on the banks! I very recently found out that my favourite pipe tune, 'Lochanside', which I've loved for many years, was named after this loch. It was written by Pipe Major John McLellan remembering his time spent along the attractive and secluded shores. McLellan (born 1875), a multi-talented man by all accounts, was from Dunoon. A pity the loch isn't shown on the Google map; however, I've added the arrow in exactly the right place. read more
