Loch Con is a small, remote, shallow, irregular shaped freshwater loch that is located in Glen Errochty in the Perth and Kinross council area, at the edge of the Scottish Highlands.[1][2] It is directly north of Loch Errochty. Directly north of the loch at the east end is Loch Cruinn. It is the source of the Allt Con, which flows a short distance southwards past Sròn Choin to Loch Errochty.[2] At the north-east end is Loch Cruinn, a very small dam, about 100 metres wide.
