Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Morlich in the Badenoch and Strathspey area of the Highlands near Aviemore, Scotland. The loch is home to a watersports center with kayaking, sailing and windsurfing among the activities available. There is also a yacht club and cycling routes around the loch. The loch is at the foot of the Cairngorm mountains. During the Second World War the area around Loch Morlich was used as a commando school by the Kompani Linge, the Norwegian Independent army Company, was trained here by the British Special Operations Executive, because of the close resemblance of the area, both in landscape and climate, to Norway. A memorial to the Kompani Linge can be found outside the Glenmore Forest Park visitor centre.
