Loch Beag is a picturesque freshwater loch located in Ross-shire, Scotland. Spanning an area of approximately 2 hectares, it is nestled within a stunning natural landscape, surrounded by lush green hills and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

This tranquil body of water is often referred to as a "loch" in Scottish terminology, but it closely resembles a small lake or pond in size. Loch Beag is known for its crystal-clear waters, which are fed by a combination of rainfall and small streams that flow into the loch from the surrounding hills.

The loch is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, who flock to its serene shores to enjoy a range of activities. Fishing is a common pastime at Loch Beag, with anglers trying their luck at catching trout, perch, and pike, which thrive in its freshwater environment.

Surrounded by rich vegetation, including reeds and water lilies, Loch Beag is also home to a diverse array of wildlife. Birdwatchers will delight in spotting various species of waterfowl, such as ducks, swans, and herons, that frequent the loch. The area surrounding the loch is also inhabited by various small mammals, including otters and voles.

For those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature, Loch Beag offers a peaceful retreat. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the loch's shoreline, taking in the stunning scenery and immersing themselves in the serenity of this hidden gem in Ross-shire.
