Loch Sween, Sea inlet in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Loch Sween extends as a sea loch with multiple narrow inlets, covering 4,100 hectares of water along the western Scottish coastline.
Castle Sween stands on the southern shore of the loch, marking centuries of maritime activity and settlement in this part of Scotland.
The names of surrounding features reflect the strong influence of Scottish Gaelic language, with Loch Sween known locally as Loch Suain.
The village of Tayvallich on the northern shore provides access points for boats and offers facilities for water-based activities throughout the year.
The protected waters contain rare maerl beds and sustain one of Scotland's major native oyster populations within their marine ecosystem.
