Loch Lundie is a small, lowland freshwater loch in Glen Garry, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of Invergarry in the Scottish Highlands. The loch is irregular in shape with a perimeter of 0.9 km (0.56 mi). It is approximately 0.75 mi (1.21 km) long, has an average depth of 40 ft (12 m) and is 54 ft (16 m) at its deepest. The loch was surveyed[2] in 1903 by Sir John Murray and James Murray[3] as part of the Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
