Loch Beinna' Mheadhoin (Loch Benevian) (Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin)
A reservoir in Glen Affric, lies 1 mile (2 km) east of Loch Affric and 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Fort Augustus.
Part of the Affric-Beauly Hydro Electric scheme, the loch receives water by tunnel from Loch Mullardoch to the northwest.
It extends 5miles (9 km) northeast to terminate at the Benevean Dam.
From this dam the River Affric issues, but water is also diverted to the generating station at Fasnakyle.
