Loch Bracadale, Sea inlet in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Loch Bracadale spans 6 kilometers wide at its mouth, featuring four islands and connecting to multiple inner lochs along the western Skye coast.
The name Bracadale stems from Norse or Gaelic origins, indicating either a juniper valley or a spotted valley with abundant fish populations.
The waters of Loch Bracadale maintain traditional fishing methods, with local fishermen using creels for catching crabs and lobsters throughout the year.
The inlet contains several salmon and mussel farms, while its protected waters provide opportunities for scallop diving and marine exploration.
Three sea stacks called Macleod's Maidens stand near Idrigill Point, with surrounding cliffs reaching heights of 100 meters above the water.
