Grogarry Loch on South Uist

Grogarry is one of the famous Machair lochs of South Uist.   It lies behind Grogarry Lodge, on the Machair - hence why it is called a Machair loch.

The Machair is a strip of land close to the sea, where the soil consists of a large percentage of crushed shells.  Therefore any lochs on this land are alkaline, and have rich feeding for the fish that inhabit them.

The fish are often beautifully marked, and more importantly, tend to grow quite large due to the abundant food supply.
