Gair Loch, Sea inlet in Highland, Scotland
Gair Loch forms a deep coastal indentation along the western Scottish coast, with waters extending inland through rocky shores and coastal cliffs.
The inlet sustained local fishing communities throughout centuries, supporting traditional herring fleets and small coastal settlements in the Highland region.
The name Gair Loch reflects the strong Scottish Gaelic heritage of the area, known as An Geàrr Loch in the native language.
Visitors can access multiple launching points for boats along the inlet's shores, with facilities available for both recreational and fishing vessels.
The waters of Gair Loch maintain consistent depths suitable for various marine species, creating productive fishing grounds throughout the year.
