Loch Brora is a loch in the Golspie parish near the east coast of Sutherland in the Highland council area in Northern Scotland. It is located directly south of a small road which links a few miles east with the A9 in Brora from where the loch gets its name.[1]

Besides Brora, the area is also home to the settlements of Kilbraur, Balnacoil, Ascoil, Ardachadh. The settlements of Gordonbush, Oldtown, Killin and Carrol are on the lakefront itself.[2][3]
