Loch Urigill is a freshwater loch near Elphin at the southern tip of the Assynt District in north-west Sutherland, Scotland. [1] [2]
It's 2 miles from Elphin and 1 mile from Ledmore. It is not directly linked to any main roads; however, small trails lead to the loch. [3] [4] The Loch is nearly 2 miles across and yet very rarely reaches over 5 metres in depth therefore making it easy for weeds and plants to grow inside the shallower ends of the loch. [5]
Flowing out of the Loch is the Na Luirgean River a short river that only lasts for about 1.5 miles before flowing into the Ledmore River. [3] Flowing in there is a collection of small streams and many small hills and peaks are around the loch but no large mountains. [3]
Fishing is possible in the Loch and despite the shallowness it's been reported that large trout can be found inside Loch Urigill. [5] The Doire Dubh nature reserve is just west of the Loch but just east is Loch Borralan which is larger, on a main road and has dedicated lodges for it making it a much larger and easier to access tourist attraction.
