Loch Affric is a freshwater loch within Glen Affric, in the Highland council area of Scotland. It lies about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Beauly.[1][2] The loch sits in a national nature reserve known for being home to a number of rare species and the loch itself is popular for trout fishing.[3][4] An annual duathlon is held on the banks of the loch in May and the loch has been widely used as the backdrop in films.[5][6]
