Loch Stack is a large, irregular shaped freshwater loch in the Northwest of Scotland. It lies approximately 4 mi (6.4 km) southeast of Laxford Bridge and is surrounded by mountains. Ben Stack rises steeply from the loch's southwestern shore and Arkle lies directly to the north.
Survey
The loch was surveyed[2] between the 6 and 8 September 1902 by T.N. Johnston and James Murray and later charted [3] as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
