Loch Choire
Loch Choire is a loch in Sutherland in the Highland council area of northern Scotland. It is located at the end of a rural street which links the loch and the lodges around it with Badanloch Lodge and the B871 main road. History Many old maps of Sutherland show evidence of the existence of Loch Choire from various sources from as far back as the 19th century. This includes maps from 1830, 1882 and 1884. However many older maps didn't show obvious evidence of Loch Choire and those that did didn't give much detail due to the area not having been surveyed much at that time. An example of this can be shown from maps from around 1820. Additionally Ordnance Survey has had the Loch marked and visited since 1961. Geography The Primary inflows of Loch Choire are Allt Coire Na Fearna and Loch a' Bhealaich all of which bring in water from the nearby mountains. To the north of Loch Choire is Ben Klibreck, one of the tallest mountains in Sutherland Sutherland () is a Counties of Sc ...
