Loch Shurrery (also known as Loch Shurrey) is a small, shallow, lowland freshwater loch lying approximately 8miles south west of Thurso in the Scottish Highlands. The loch has a somewhat elliptical shape with a perimeter of 7.4km (04.6miles). It is approximately 1.25miles long, has an average depth of 4.5feet and is 7feet at its deepest. The loch was surveyed[3] on 6 October 1902 by John Parsons and T.R.H. Garrett and later charted[4] as part of Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909. A dam lies to the north end of the loch.
Approximately 200yd from the northern end of the loch are the archaeological remains of an Iron Age hut circle with a medium-sized oval house. Some pottery was found at the site.[5] At the southern end of the loch is Lambsdale Leans, a cairn with possible cist or chamber. Two Viking graves lie nearby.[6]
The loch is used for fishing and the Dounreay Fly Fishing Association keeps a boat on the loch for members and visitors.[7]
