About Pool of Cluny
It's the sort of place locals know about and visitors miss, which rather suits it. The walk in takes you past farmland and rough ground, and once you arrive you get a sense that you've earned it - not because the trek is brutal, but because there's something about the effort that makes you appreciate the stillness of the water more. The shoreline has decent banks for sitting and watching, and in autumn or early morning the light here is genuinely lovely.
Families will find it manageable if they've got reasonably confident walkers aged eight and up. Very young children will lose interest quickly unless they're the type obsessed with spotting water birds. Photographers and solitude-seekers will have a far better time. There's nowhere to eat or buy anything once you're there, so bring what you need.
If you're based at Hillhead Caravan Park near Pitfichie, it's a worthwhile half-day outing rather than a full day commitment. Worth the detour if you're keen on quiet corners of the Highlands, less essential if you're short on time. Free to visit, and expect to spend an hour or so properly relaxing here without crowds.
