Fannich, Loch, a lake of Contin parish, towards the centre of Ross and Cromarty. Lying 822 feet above sea-level, it extends 65/8 miles east-south-eastward and east-by-northward, has a varying width of 3 and 7 furlongs, and sends off a stream 6½ miles east-south-eastward to Loch Luichart. On its northern shore, 15 miles WNW of Garve station, stands the shootinglodge of Fannich deer-forest, a mountainous region, whose loftiest summit is Sgurr Mor (3657 feet), 3¾ miles N of the loch. There are boats on the latter, but the trout are small and none too plentiful.Ord. Sur., sh. 92, 1881.
