About Black Loch

Escape the crowds at Black Loch, a tranquil gem tucked away off the beaten track. This scenic destination is home to the striking 'The Eye' sculpture, a unique piece of land art situated right by the water’s edge.

Beyond its artistic appeal, Black Loch is a premier destination for stargazing, offering great views of the night sky thanks to the lack of light pollution in this secluded pocket of the forest.

While there are no formal waymarked trails directly at the loch, it serves as an ideal base for adventure; a short walk connects you to the popular Talnotry walking trail, and the site provides easy access to the 7stanes Big Country mountain bike route.
