From the Wikipedia article
Loch Urigill (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Uiriollaich ) is a freshwater loch near Elphin at the southern tip of the Assynt District in north-west Sutherland, Scotland. It's 2 miles from Elphin and 1 mile from Ledmore. It is not directly linked to any main roads; however, small trails lead to the loch. The Loch is nearly 2 miles across and yet very rarely reaches over 5 metres in depth therefore making it easy for weeds and plants to grow inside the shallower ends of the loch.

Background
Visiting
Fishing is possible in the Loch and despite the shallowness it's been reported that large trout can be found inside Loch Urigill. The Doire Dubh nature reserve is just west of the Loch but just east is Loch Borralan which is larger, on a main road and has dedicated lodges for it making it a much larger and easier to access tourist attraction.
