White Loch is a small lowland freshwater loch that is located directly to the east of Fingask Loch in the valley of the Lunan Burn and is 1.5 miles south of Blairgowrie, in Perth and Kinross.[1] [2] The loch is also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), as well as forming part of a Special Area of Conservation.
White Loch is one of three lochs that sit in a row on an orientation of 280 degrees, with Fingask Loch directly to the west and the tiny, almost pond sized Black Loch sitting directly to the east.[3] White Loch drains into Fingask Loch which in turn drains into small burn that meets the Lunan Burn.[3]
