Fairy Lochs
Small group of freshwater lochs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fairy Lochs is a recent English name for Na Lochan Sgeireach and are a small group of freshwater lochans approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) south-east of the village of Badachro, near Gairloch in Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands. The lochans have become known as the 'Fairy Lochs' due to their proximity to 'Sìthean Mòr' which translates as 'Big Fairy Hill'.[1]

The lochans are close to Loch Bràigh Horrisdale, which flows into the Badachro River (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Bad a' Chrodha). There are several large waterfalls in the area, and Sìthean Mor overlooks the Lochan Sgeireach and the bay of Loch Gairloch.
The lochs are remote and are accessed over farmland and along paths through marshy ground.
