Loch Tuath

Loch Tuath is a coastal loch on the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, separating the islands of Mull and Ulva. It lies within the Loch Na Keal National Scenic Area, one of Scotland’s forty protected landscapes. The area was designated to recognise outstanding scenery and to guard against inappropriate development. Gentle slopes and open water characterise the loch’s setting. The loch is worth visiting for its unspoilt views and quiet shores. It forms part of the larger Loch Na Keal landscape, a nationally recognised area of natural beauty. The surrounding islands provide sheltered waters and rich habitats for wildlife. Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks along the shoreline or take in views of the distant hills. At the water’s edge, wide sandy beaches and low rocky outcrops appear. The clear waters reflect the sky and the surrounding hills. On calm days, the loch offers calm reflections and gentle breezes. The islands of Mull and Ulva frame the scene, their green slopes rising from the water.
