Loch Bruicheach is a remote
mountain loch, situated on the edge of Boblainy Forest in the
Highland council area of
Scotland. The nearest settlement to it is
Eskadale, a small hamlet 1.74 miles (2.8 km) to the north, across a wide stretch of moorland.
The name may derive from an
Old Gaelic word meaning "boiling" or "raging", and is shared with the loch's primary outflow, the Bruiach Burn.
Archaeological evidence has shown the loch to have once contained a
crannog on its north shore.
In the past, Loch Bruicheach has been a popular fishing ground for the
common greenshank, a rare bird in the area.
