From the Wikipedia article
The Fairy Lochs are a recent English name for Na Lochan Sgeireach, a small group of freshwater lochans approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) south-east of the village of Badachro, near Gairloch in Wester Ross, Highland. The lochans have become known as the 'Fairy Lochs' due to their proximity to the hill Sìthean Mòr, which translates as "Big Fairy Mound". The lochans are close to Loch Bràigh Horrisdale, which flows into the Badachro River (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Bad a' Chrodha). There are several large waterfalls in the area, and Sìthean Mòr overlooks the Lochan Sgeireach and the bay of Loch Gairloch. The lochs are remote and are accessed over farmland and along paths through marshy ground.
