Loch na Beinne Baine is a remote mountain loch on the northern lid of Glenmoriston, Scotland. It sits on the historic boundary between the parishes of Glenmoriston and Strathglass.[1]

Its name means "Loch of the White Mountain" in Scottish Gaelic.[2]

Charles Edward Stuart is recorded as having passed the loch via an "old hill track" in July 1746, during his flight from Culloden.[3]

The loch's waters flow several kilometres downhill via an unnamed burn to meet the River Glass.[4]

The loch has a large stock of brown trout.[5]
