Lochindorb, Morayshire, and its castle island

Lochindorb

Lochindorb is a freshwater loch in Morayshire, and the largest in the county; it is two miles long and half a mile wide. It is found to the north of Grantown on Spey. The name of the lake is from the Gaelic Loch nan Doirb, meaning "loch of the minnows".

In the eastern portion of the loch, within a detached part of Inverness-shire, stand the ruins of Lochindorb Castle, a former stronghold of the Clan Comyn, built on an artificial island. (Read more)
