Fairy Lochs
The Fairy Lochs is a recent English name for Na Lochan Sgeireach and are a small group of lochans approximately 2 miles (3 km) SE of the village of Badachro near Gairloch in Wester Ross, Scotland. The lochans have become known as the 'Fairy Lochs' due to the close proximity of the 'Sìthean Mòr' hill which translates into English as the 'Large Fairy Mound'. The lochans are close to Loch Bràigh Horrisdale, which flows into the Badachro River .
Gairloch Stone
The Gairloch Stone is a Class-I Pictish stone which was discovered at Achtercair in Wester Ross around 1880. Subsequently the stone was used as masonry for the cemetery wall of Gairloch's church. It has survived only imperfectly, but on it are still visible a fish - probably a salmon - and, above, the lower part of a bird. The bird is probably an eagle, common on Pictish stones, but a goose has also been suggested. The stone currently resides in Gairloch Heritage Museum.
