Lochan Coire Lagan

Lochan Coire Lagan is a mountain lake on Isle of Skye surrounded by the steep slopes of the Cuillin range. The water sits in a tight basin enclosed by tall cliff faces that mirror on the surface.

The body of water has existed for thousands of years and served shepherds in navigating the rugged mountains. It remains a natural landmark in largely unchanged terrain.

The lake serves as a gathering point for mountaineers exploring the Cuillin peaks. People use it as a natural landmark while moving through the Highland terrain.

Start from Glenbrittle campsite where marked paths begin and lead through rocky ground. The journey is demanding and requires solid hillwalking experience and proper mountain gear.

The lake sits in a narrow mountain ravine that amplifies sounds of waterfalls and falling rocks. This echo effect creates an unusual acoustic experience that visitors notice while moving through the space.
