Loch na Keal, Marine protected inlet in Isle of Mull, Scotland
Loch na Keal stretches 20 kilometers inland from the western coast of Mull, featuring basalt cliffs and multiple islands within its waters.
The inlet contains Inchkenneth island, which received notable visitors Samuel Johnson and James Boswell during their documented tour of the Hebrides.
The name Loch na Keal originates from Scottish Gaelic, translating to Loch of the Kyle or Narrows, reflecting the local linguistic heritage.
The inlet remains accessible through a single-track road from Salen, with designated viewing points offering opportunities to observe white-tailed eagles and seals.
The inlet forms part of a National Scenic Area spanning 44,250 hectares, incorporating both marine waters and surrounding landscapes.
