Loch Grannoch
This attractive loch is part of the Galloway Forest Park in Dumfries and Galloway.
To the east of the loch there's a shared cycling and walking route running through the adjacent forestry. You can follow this trail from the nearby Clatteringshaws Loch to reach the loch. It's a very beautiful and remote place with attractive forestry and hills surrounding the scenic lake. Look out for the black headed gulls on the island in the middle of the loch.

North end of the loch. Fortunately there has been some clear felling here, so the loch was visible. The small island, Eagle Island has black headed gulls on it instead of eagles.
