Loch Laggan

Loch Laggan is located near Fort William, in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland. It has been a reservoir since 1934, retained behind the Laggan Dam, making part of the Lochaber hydro-electric scheme. 
The hamlet of Kinloch Laggan - where you can find a lovely sandy beach - borders the lake. It is notable as the largest freshwater beach in Britain.
The entire area is ruggedly mountainous and scarcely populated. The tranquil area is a splendid place for an easy stroll with fine views across the still waters to the surrounding hills and mountains. 
The lake attracts swimming, canoeing, and fishing enthusiasts. Cairngorms National Park, the largest national park in Britain, is situated close to the lake and can be easily accessed.
