Loch a' Bhainne is a small, upland freshwater loch approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the east end of Loch Garry and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north-west of Invergarry in the Scottish Highlands. The loch is roughly triangular in shape with a perimeter of 0.6 km (0.37 mi). It is approximately 0.33 mi (0.53 km) long, has an average depth of 10 ft (3.0 m) and is 28 ft (8.5 m) at its deepest. The loch was surveyed[2] in 1903 by James Murray[3] as part of Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
