Loch Turret Reservoir Overlooking the steep crags of Carn Chois looking east south east down Loch Turret reservoir. Also shows the track along both sides of the loch.
Loch Turret is a large freshwater reservoir on a north-east to south-west orientation, that is located at the head of Glen Turret and 5.39 miles (8.67 km) northwest of Crieff in Perth and Kinross.[1][2][3]
At the north end of the loch, some 1.2 miles (1.9 km), is the small lochan of Lochan Uaine, that drains in Loch Turret through the Turret Burn.[4] The route is a popular walking spot.[4] Below the loch, the Turret Burn continues, and further down hosts Glenturret distillery, that was built in 1775.[5]
