Loch Scridain

Loch Scridain is a sea inlet on the western coast of the Isle of Mull, framed by a peninsula to the north and a broad landmass to the south. The water cuts several kilometers inland, forming a sheltered natural basin.

People have settled along these shores since ancient times, using the water for their daily work and survival. This long history of habitation shows how important the location has always been to communities in Scotland.

Small communities along the shore still practice traditional fishing methods that have shaped local life for generations. These practices remain tied to the rhythm of tides and seasonal patterns of the water.

The best way to explore the inlet is by driving or walking along the southern shore, where a road provides access to several viewpoints. From these spots you can get good views of the water and the surrounding land.

A fossilized tree trunk lies near the shore, forming an unusual geological feature alongside a cave and large rock formations. This rare combination of nature and stone interests visitors curious about the land's ancient past.
