Loch Rog Beag
(A FIVE TRUNK location)
Location
If you are staying in Scaliscro house (as we were) this is literally at the bottome of the garden. Otherwise just park somewhere on the narrow road to Scaliscro and cross the fields to the loch.
Grid Ref
NB133/272
Features
Plenty deep enough for a real swim and Well, if you are staying in Scaliscro house (as we were), you have an excellent entry ramp. Once in the setting is ideallic and we even had a boat to swim round/rescue us.
Hazards
None really, although someone told us to hug the land but I think that was a sailing term!
