Loch Linnhe

Situated on the west coast of Scotland, Loch Linnhe (also known as Loch Laich) stretches for just over nine miles and is just over a mile wide.

Visitors to the loch can’t fail to notice the protective Ben Nevis standing tall along the head of the loch, dominating the rustic landscape.

Loch Linnhe is well worth a visit for the more active person, as there are some fantastic chances to sea kayak there. Kayakers can also enjoy a remarkable opportunity to paddle under Castle Stalker.
