'''Gogarloch''' is a residential area within [[South Gyle]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]]. It lies near [[South Gyle railway station]] and South Gyle Broadway, {{convert|4+1/2|mi|km}} west of the city centre. [[Corstorphine]] and [[Wester Broom]] are nearby.
Historically this area was [[marsh]]land<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst11645.html|title=Gogarloch|work=Gazetteer for Scotland|access-date=16 December 2014}}</ref><ref name=Bell>{{cite book|title=Literary Corstorphine: A reader's guide to West Edinburgh|date=2017|last=Bell|first=Raymond MacKean|location=Edinburgh|publisher=Leamington Books|isbn=9780244644406}}</ref> (hence '[[loch]]' in the name) but the land was drained in the 19th century to create space for a new railway. Most of the housing is of the 1990s era.
Other lost lochs of Edinburgh include the [[Nor Loch]] and [[The Meadows (park)|Burgh Loch]] on the site of the present day Meadows area.
