Loch Callater is an upland, freshwater loch lying approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of Braemar, Scotland. The loch trends in a northwest to southeast direction and is surrounded on both sides by steep hills. It is approximately 1.6 km (1 mi) in length.
The loch was surveyed[2] on 11 July 1905 by T.N. Johnston and L.W. Collett and later charted [3] as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
Trout, salmon, eels and perch are found in the loch.[2] A permit is required for fishing.[4]
The loch and surrounding area is popular with walkers and at the north end is the Callater Stable walkers' bothy.[5][6]
