Loch Duich, Sea inlet in Highland, Scotland
Loch Duich stretches along the western coast of Scotland, forming a deep marine environment where three sea lochs converge at Eilean Donan Castle.
The shores of Loch Duich witnessed the 1719 Battle of Glen Shiel, during which British forces burned local homesteads before defeating Jacobite and Spanish forces.
The waters of Loch Duich hold ancient tales of seal-maidens, where three brothers encountered these mythical beings who could transform between human and seal forms.
The protected waters of Loch Duich offer opportunities for fishing, with boats available for rent and multiple access points along the shoreline.
The loch contains specialized marine habitats of burrowed mud and flame shell beds, leading to its designation as a Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area.
