The deep part of Loch Loch This picture, taken from one of the protruding fingers of land that almost cut the loch in half, shows the part of Loch Loch that is deepest according to the OS map. The shape of the shoreline has been shaped by landslides on both sides. A faint path runs the eastern side of the loch.
