Loch Hourn, Marine inlet in Highland, Scotland.
Loch Hourn extends inland for 22 kilometers from the Sound of Sleat, featuring five deep basins separated by shallow sills along its length.
The loch's name originates from Scottish Gaelic 'Loch Shubhairne' and forms part of an area historically known as the rough bounds of northwest Scotland.
The Friends of Loch Hourn organization, formed in 2020, brings together residents, fishermen, and landowners to protect the marine environment of this remote region.
Navigation through Loch Hourn requires careful attention to tide patterns and strong currents, particularly in the upper sections near Kinloch Hourn.
The loch contains multiple deep basins that create varying levels of salinity, supporting different marine habitats throughout its waters.
