About Lochan Choire Dhuibh
High up in the hills above Crianlarich sits Lochan Choire Dhuibh, a proper mountain lochan that rewards the walk with something genuinely special. The trek in isn't trivial - you're looking at a decent climb through moorland - but the payoff is a quiet alpine loch surrounded by craggy hills that feel worlds away from the car park.
What you get is straightforward: a small, dark water set into the mountains, with the kind of stillness that makes you understand why people bother with Scottish hill walking. Reflections on calm days are lovely. The surrounding peaks create a natural amphitheatre that explains the name - Choire Dhuibh translates as Dark Corrie. Walkers will get the most from this. It's not a casual stroll-and-back affair, and there's no facilities or marked paths to speak of, so come prepared with proper kit and a map. Allow three to four hours round trip depending on your fitness.
The lochan itself is free to visit, naturally. Best tackled in summer when the weather's more cooperative and daylight gives you proper working hours. Winter routes get serious quickly.
It pairs well with a stay at Tyndrum Holiday Park, just 2.3 miles away. You've got real Highland walking on your doorstep without needing to drive hours north. Day hikers should hit this early - afternoon mist rolls in fast in these parts, and you'll want sunlight for the views back down to Crianlarich and beyond.
