Track to Loch Hallan This track leads across the machair to the mooring for the estate boat on Loch Hallan. Beware of rusty, tyre-puncturing fence wire hidden in the grass. Hallan is a very shallow loch. If your boat grounds on the sand, don&#039;t worry, just step over the side into six inches of water and tow the boat back to its mooring. Don&#039;t try this if you get stuck on the rocks on the far shore!
