Avielochan is located in Strathspey in central, northern Scotland, within the Cairngorms National Park. The village is located south of Kinveachy and north of Granish. The settlement takes its name from the body of water Avie Lochan (meaning "the small lake of Avie) archaically named Loch-na- mhoon, measuring about 90 yards long, and 50 across. Prior to the great floods in 1829, there was a floating island on the loch measuring about 30 yards across. It attracts Ospreys during the spring and summer months and Golden Eye, Coot and Slavonian Grebe, amongst others. Red Squirrel, Red Deer, Roe Deer, Black Grouse and Capercaillie inhabit the area
