Achilty, Strathpeffer, IV14 9EG

Loch Achilty is a large, deep, picturesque lowland freshwater loch set within a sloping birch and oakwood forest. It is located near Contin in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands of Scotland. The loch is notable for having no outflow; it is assumed that the loch discharges its surplus water via an underground tunnel into the River Rosay, which eventually flows into the larger River Conon. The surrounding forested area provides a natural, peaceful environment characteristic of the Highlands. The locality falls within the postal district IV 14, placing it in the broader region of Easter Ross. The setting is rural and scenic, with the loch as a central natural feature of the area.
