Loch an Doire Dhuibh is a small irregular shaped freshwater loch, situated on a north-east to south-west orientation in northern Wester Ross[2] and located 7.5 miles southeast of Lochinver, Scotland. Directly to the northwest of the loch is Loch Gainmheich, considered the "northern portion" of the loch, by the editors of Bathymetrical Survey[1] that is connected by a narrow channel with water flowing out of Doire Dhuibh and northwest to Loch Sionascaig.[3] Loch an Doire Dhuibh is part of the Assynt - Coigach National Scenic Area.[4]
