Loch Bruicheach is a remote mountain loch, situated on the edge of Boblainy Forest in the Highland council area of Scotland. The nearest settlement to it is Eskadale, a small hamlet 1.74 miles (2.8 km) to the north, across a wide stretch of moorland.
The name may derive from an Old Gaelic word meaning "boiling" or "raging", and is shared with the loch's primary outflow, the Bruiach Burn.[1]
Archaeological evidence has shown the loch to have once contained a crannog on its north shore.[2]
In the past, Loch Bruicheach has been a popular fishing ground for the common greenshank, a rare bird in the area.[3]
