River Bà (Rannoch Moor)

The River Bà above Bà Bridge

The River Bà is a small river in Argyllshire, flowing across Rannoch Moor. The river is created by the union of several burns running off the Mountains of Glencoe, principally the Allt Coire Dhearbhadh slipping betwen Aonach Eagach and Stob Ghabhar and others from Aonach Mòr. Below the mountain slopes as the moorland begins the River Bà is formed, flowing eastwards.

On the marshy levels of Rannoch Moor, the river waters forma series of wee lochs; Loch Buidhe then Lochan na Stainge and then Loch Bà, all in a cluster, before the river flows north-eastwards to pour itself into Loch Laidon.
