Lochan Fada lies almost directly north of
Loch Maree running in a parallel direction, separated by a boggy plateau that runs the length of Loch Maree and constitutes the majority of
Letterewe Forest. The plateau is bounded by
Slioch, one of Scotland's
Munros, known as "The Spear" at 981 metres (3218 feet) that dominates the south-eastern end. In the middle of the plateau is
Beinn Lair at (859 m) with several smaller peaks at the north-western end with the highest being
Beinn Airigh Charr at 792 m. Within the ridge is small remote
Loch Garbhaig that lies below the northern cliffs of Slioch. A vast number of lochs and lochans surround Lochan Fada. To the north-west lies the largest at
Fionn Loch in Fisherfield Forest. The area directly north of the loch contains a large number of very small lochans grouped around the mountain
Ruadh Stac Mor at . To the north-east lies
Loch a' Bhraoin. Lochan Fada is drained by "Abhainn an Fhasaig", which has carved a steep, rocky gorge known as Gleann Bianasdail, through a waterfall eventually reaching Loch Maree. ==Gallery==
