Loch Dochart is a small freshwater loch on the Lochdochart Estate in Stirling, Scottish Highlands. It lies approximately 1.7km (01.1miles) to the east of the town of Crianlarich at the foot of Ben More.[1] There is a small wooded island in the middle of the loch on which stands the ruins of a castle originally built by Sir Duncan Campbell between 1583 and 1631.[2]
The loch was surveyed[1] on 11 May, 1902 by T.N. Johnston and James Parsons and later charted [3] as part of Sir John Murray's The Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.[4]
