Loch Choire
Loch Choire ('lake of the corrie') lies in the valley between Ben Klibreck (rising sharply from its north-west shore) and the hills known as the Ben Armine Forest, in Sutherland. The north-west shore of the loch, which is along the lower slopes of Ben Klibreck, is known as the Loch Choire Forest, a place as treeless as the Ben Armine Forest on the oppose shore.
Loch a’ Bhealaich is a smaller loch which lies upstream of Loch Choire, in the same valley with a stream running down to the main loch, the two barely separated but for a hundred yards’ gap.
The water flowing out of Loch Choire northwards forms the Mallart River, the first tributary of the River Naver: it joins the Naver as soon as the latter is formed flowing out of Loch Naver, a loch due north of Loch Choire.
