It lies north-east of the Inveroran Hotel, a popular West Highland Way stop off point close to Bridge of Orchy.
In the 1892 annual report of the Fishery Board for Scotland, Loch Tulla was noted as having trout fishing that was unsurpassed in Scotland sixty years prior, but had since been ruined by the introduction of pike by Lord Breadalbane after being advised by "some dangerous person" to do so in 1848.[1] The Marquis of Breadalbane was obliged to use nets to keep the pike numbers low in the loch for fishing purposes.[2]
