Loch Lambknowe is a picturesque freshwater loch located in the rural and scenic region of Sutherland, Scotland. Nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, this tranquil waterbody covers an area of approximately 10 hectares. It is often referred to as a loch, though its smaller size and calm waters make it resemble a pool or pond.

The loch is surrounded by a diverse range of vegetation, including reeds, grasses, and shrubs, creating a vibrant freshwater marsh ecosystem. This marshland provides a habitat for a variety of plant and animal species, adding to the natural beauty and ecological significance of the area.

The water in Loch Lambknowe is crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding landscape and offering a serene and idyllic setting. It is fed by several small streams and springs, ensuring a constant flow of fresh water. The loch's depth varies, with some areas reaching up to 5 meters.

Due to its remote location, Loch Lambknowe remains relatively undisturbed, making it a haven for wildlife. Visitors may catch glimpses of waterfowl, such as ducks and geese, gracefully gliding across the water's surface. The loch also supports a diverse range of fish species, including trout and perch, attracting anglers from near and far.

For those seeking tranquility and natural beauty, Loch Lambknowe is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Its calm waters, lush surroundings, and abundant wildlife make it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
