Loch Gairloch

Loch Gairloch

Loch Gairloch is a sea loch on the northwest coast of Scotland. Around six miles long by a mile and a half wide, it leads west to the Little Minch. The B8021 and B8056 run around its northern and southern shores respectively, connecting the villages of Gairloch, Charlestown, Kerrysdale, Shieldaig, Badachro, and Port Henderson. Longa Island lies at the loch's entrance.
