Coastguard Loch

This small loch lies within a few hundred metres of the sea on the north coast of Skye, close to the old coastguard cottages at Duntulm. It is a very small water of little more than a hectare, with a simple, near-circular outline and a moderate depth for its size. Despite its modest dimensions, the water is clear and productive, with high alkalinity — a reflection of the coastal setting and the base-rich ground that surrounds it.

No fishing details are recorded for this loch.

The loch is easily reached from the road at Duntulm, where parking is possible with care beside the water's edge.
