The OS maps shows much of this area in blue, but with water levels low in the loch there is much sand and mud exposed which has become green with vegetation.

Telephone box at Bridgend of Lintrathen

The few buildings at the village of Bridgend of Lintrathen lie immediately below the dam of the Loch of Lintrathen; it's hidden from view in the image by trees. The telephone box is still standing, if leaning; it's not known if there's a functioning telephone inside. Until recently, close beside the box stood an old, protected road sign; it was demolished by a falling tree during one of the storms of winter 2021-2022. A photograph of it can be seen... Link .

It is always surprisingly difficult to access the shore of Loch of Lintrathen. This stretch here is accessed by parking on a small space on the west side, and then ambling through a hole in the hedge down a narrow path to the shore.
