Kyle of Tongue, Sea inlet in northern Sutherland, Scotland.
The Kyle of Tongue extends inland from the North Sea, creating a shallow marine environment with sandy banks and rocky shores.
In 1746, the Kyle witnessed a five-hour naval battle where British forces intercepted the ship Le Prince Charles carrying French gold for the Jacobite rebellion.
Three ancient brochs situated around the Kyle demonstrate the long-standing human presence and defensive structures of early Scottish inhabitants.
The Kyle of Tongue Bridge and Causeway, constructed in 1971, spans 183 meters and connects communities that previously required a 16-kilometer detour.
The inlet forms part of a 24,488-hectare National Scenic Area, incorporating both marine sections and surrounding mountains including Ben Hope and Ben Loyal.
