Loch Bracadale

Loch Bracadale is a bay on the west coast of Skye in Scotland

Loch Bracadale and its associated inner lochs - Harport, Vatten, Caroy, Bharcasaig, na Faolinn and Loch Beag - form one of the largest areas of semi-enclosed inshore waters around the Skye coast.

The loch contains Harlosh Island, Tarner Island, Wiay and the tidal island of Oronsay off Ullinish point.

Just beyond Idrigill Point on the west are sea stacks known as Macleod's Maidens.
