Gair Loch

Loch Gairloch is a sea loch on the north west coast of Highland, Scotland. In Scottish Gaelic it is an Geàrr Loch meaning 'the short loch'. Around 6 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, it leads west to the Little Minch. The B8021 and B8056 run around its northern and southern shores respectively, connecting the villages of Gairloch, Charlestown, Kerrysdale, Shieldaig, Badachro, and Port Henderson. Longa Island lies at the loch's entrance.

Located at 57.7333, -5.73333 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.

Gairloch Stone

The Gairloch Stone is a Class-I Pictish stone which was discovered at Achtercair in Wester Ross around 1880. Subsequently the stone was used as masonry for the cemetery wall of Gairloch's church. It has survived only imperfectly, but on it are still visible a fish - probably a salmon - and, above, the lower part of a bird. The bird is probably an eagle, common on Pictish stones, but a goose has also been suggested. The stone currently resides in Gairloch Heritage Museum.

Located at 57.73, -5.69361 (Lat. / Lng.), about 0 miles away.
