Loch Sealbhanach is a freshwater loch in Glen Cannich, Scotland.
Sir John Murray recorded the loch as "Loch Sealbhag" in his 1903 survey.[1] This derives from the Scottish Gaelic sealbhag, meaning "sorrel" i.e. "Loch of the Sorrel".[2] The change in name was likely due to a nearby farm named Sealbhanach (recorded by Murray as the Anglicised Shalavanach), meaning "herding-place" i.e. "Loch of the Herding Place". The change appears to have taken place on maps in the 1900s.[3]
Mullardoch Cottage and Mullardoch House, part of Benula Sporting Estate, sit on the loch's western shore.[4]
