Loch Achnamoine is a small mountain loch, situated on the River Helmsdale in the Highland council area of Scotland. The nearest settlement to it is Kinbrace, a small village 2.5 miles (4 km) east, along a small country road.
The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic elements "achadh" and "mòine", meaning "Lake of the Peat-field".[1]
Loch Achnamoine is a drift dam, formed from the last glacial period in Scotland.[2] The loch was the site of several biological surveys in the 1990s, identifying several species of xanthidium in its waters[3]
