Loch Leathan
Loch Leathan submitted by JLT : According to Canmore this is "An artificial island composed of small boulders. It is about 6-7m in diameter and protrudes c. 1.0m above the level of the loch... but from its construction it is quite possible that this is a crannog. " (Vote or comment on this photo)
