Loch na Seamraig

Loch na Seamraig lies close to the Atlantic coast on Cape Wrath, west of the Kearvaig River and north of the U70 road. It is a very small, low‑lying loch of roughly 4 hectares, generally shallow with a mean depth of about 4.5 metres and moderate alkalinity. The shoreline is simple and rounded, the water set only about 300 metres from the sea, with a short outflow that drops directly over the cliffs.

The loch is not part of the Kearvaig system and, with its direct fall to the sea, does not hold migratory fish. Access is by the Cape Wrath road: the line of the route runs west for many kilometres, curving northwest in places before turning west again, with a short final swing north to the loch above the cliffs. The loch and its approaches lie within the Cape Wrath Danger Area; access may be restricted during military exercises.
