Another loch in the lovely Trossochs area, we were there while the leaves were turning which added a different feel to the paddle.  There are rapids leading into a waterfall at the eastern end and a picturesque little boat shed.  The loch was relatively quiet which may have been due to the time of year and also that it was during the week that we went however having gone passed a few times there never seems to be crowds of people in this quiet corner of the Trossochs.
