Hiking
Small and remote loch in Caithness, surrounded by peat bogs and practically uninhabited moors. Its Gaelic name, Loch nam Bonnach, means approximately «lake of the bannocks», the traditional Scottish flatbreads once cooked on a griddle or stone. It is not a monumental or touristy lake: the interesting thing is precisely its location in one of the most open and solitary landscapes in northern Scotland, where water, peat and sky seem to occupy everything.
