An Lochan Uaine is a small freshwater loch in the Highland council area of Scotland.
Lochan Uaine can be translated from Scottish Gaelic as Green Tarn.[1] According to local legends, the green colour of its water is caused by the fairies who wash their green clothes in the loch.[2]
The loch is located at an elevation of [3] about NE of Loch Morlich. Its length is .[4] It lies at the foot of the Eastern flanks of the Greag Nan Gall (622 m).[5] The lake is considered by geologists a good example of a morainic tarn.[6]
The loch is included in the Glenmore Forest Park, not faraway from its visitor centre,[7] and in the Cairngorms National Park.
The lake can be reached from Loch Morlich with an easy walk, starting from the Glenmore Forest visitor centre; walking a little more is possible to touch the Ryvoan Pass too, at the end of the glen.[8] The hike is considered very suitable also for children.
