Loch Cuaich
Highland, United Kingdom
Loch Cuaich or Loch Quoich is a loch and reservoir situated west of Loch Garry approximately 40 km northwest of Fort William in Lochaber. The name means "loch of the quaich" in Scottish Gaelic. In 1896, it was listed as six miles long and three-quarters of a mile in width, belonging to Mrs. Ellice of Glenquoich, within the parish of Kilmonivaig. Both Lochs Cuaich and Garry form part of the 19 MW Glen Garry hydroelectricity project commissioned by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the 1950s. The scheme was completed in 1962. The Fearna Storage project, a 1.8 GW / 36 GWh pumped-storage hydroelectricity project on the north-east hill expects to use 11% of Loch Cuaich.
