Loch Etive

Loch Etive extends for 30 kilometers through steep mountain valleys, reaching a maximum width of 3.2 kilometers as it flows toward the Atlantic Ocean.

The waters of Loch Etive served as vital transportation routes during the medieval period, connecting inland settlements with coastal trading posts of Clan Campbell.

Traditional fishing practices continue at Loch Etive, where local fishermen maintain centuries-old methods of catching salmon and other native fish species.

Visitors can access multiple entry points along the loch via the main road network, with dedicated parking areas available for hiking and water activities.

The inlet contains a natural phenomenon called Falls of Lora, where strong tidal currents create reverse waterfalls at specific times during the day.
