Lochan Buidhe is a small freshwater loch located on the Cairngorm Plateau in the eastern Highlands of Scotland. At over 1,120 m (3,670 ft) above sea level, it is among the highest named bodies of water in the British Isles.[1]

The loch and its primary outflow, Feith Buidhe were the site of the 1971 Cairngorm Plateau disaster, in which a group of five school students and their leader died of exposure after being stranded in the open for two nights in a blizzard.
