Message from Ian G Black

Loch Morlich is a freshwater loch located near Aviemore in the Highland area of Scotland. It's a popular spot for watersports like kayaking, sailing, and windsurfing, with a yacht club and cycling routes also available. The loch boasts sandy beaches that earned a Seaside Award in 2009, making it the first freshwater loch to receive this honor. Fun fact: the sand on the beaches contains broken glass leftover from World War II when the area was used as a commando training school. Overall, Loch Morlich offers a picturesque setting at the foot of the Cairngorm mountains for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water activities and scenic views.
