The eastern shore of Loch Braigh Horrisdale

Loch Bràigh Horrisdale is a small, irregular shaped, freshwater loch in Wester Ross, about two miles south-south-east of the village of Badachro and close to the Fairy Lochs, in Ross-shire.

An in-river hydro-electric scheme down-stream of the loch has been proposed. As a result of this, an environmental assessment of the fish and fish habitat of the loch and its outflow was commissioned. The assessment was reported in 2014. A full EIA planning application for the 2 MW scheme was lodged in 2016.

The loch was surveyed on 6 August 1902[1] by T.N. Johnston and John Hewitt and later charted[2] as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
