Loch Eil, Sea inlet in Highland, Scotland
The waters of Loch Eil stretch along the northern shores near Fort William, opening into the larger Loch Linnhe through the Annat narrows.
During the Jacobite rising, Charles Edward's army marched through Loch Eil, making a notable stop at Fassefern, the residence of Lochiel's brother.
The northern and southern shores of Loch Eil maintain strong connections to the Cameron Clan, who established their early settlement on Eilean nan Craobh.
Two railway stations, Loch Eil Outward Bound and Locheilside, provide direct access to the northern shore of the inlet for visitors.
The Outward Bound Trust center at Loch Eil operates with sustainable energy sources, including a hydro scheme and solar panels for environmental preservation.
