Loch Lee

Loch Lee lies in Angus, south of the Grampian Mountains, fed by the Water of Lee and the Water of Unich. The loch drains through the Water of Lee into the River North Esk. Queen Victoria once called it a wild but not large lake, closed in by mountains. A farm-house and a few cottages stand at its edge. The loch supplies drinking water only to the North Esk area. Walkers and anglers both use the area around Loch Lee. The surrounding land offers open paths for long walks. Anglers come to fish in the loch’s waters. The mountains give the loch a remote feel. The Water of Lee and Water of Unich add to the scenery. At the edge of the loch, visitors find quiet spots to pause. The farm-house and cottages add a human touch to the wild setting. The loch’s outflow joins the Water of Mark to form the River North Esk. The mountains frame the water, creating a peaceful view. The area remains a place for simple outdoor enjoyment.
