Loch Beag

Loch Beag is a cove on the west coast of Northern Scotland, in the vicinity of the Sound of Arisaig.

The eastern end of the Sound of Arisaig divides into Loch nan Uamh in the north and Loch Ailort in the south separated by a headland.

It is 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) long and 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) wide, with a maximum depth of 21 metres (69 ft).

Loch is cognate with English "lake", but in Scottish Gaelic is also applied to coastal sea inlets.
