Firth of Lorn, Marine inlet in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
The Firth of Lorn extends 30 kilometers along Scotland's west coast, featuring rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and small scattered islands throughout its expanse.
The waterway functioned as a primary maritime route since medieval times, facilitating trade connections between coastal settlements and the Scottish western islands.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices of harvesting shellfish and crustaceans through methods such as creeling, trawling, and potting in these waters.
The marine charts and tide station at Scalasaig provide essential navigation data for vessels traversing the inlet's strong currents and underwater formations.
The seabed reveals an underwater cliff formed by the Insh fault, reaching depths of 150 meters and creating distinctive marine habitats.
