Loch Inver is a 3.62-kilometre-long (1+6164-nautical-mile) sea loch in Assynt, Sutherland and is on the northwest coast of Scotland.[1] The loch meets the coastal embayment of Enard Bay at the north end and The Minch, where it meets Soyea Island at its mouth.[1]

Geography

At the head of the bay is Soyea Island.[2] It is small rocky uninhabited island whose radial axis lies on a horizontal line, the same as the bay, and is located 1+34 nmi (3 km) from Badnaban on a bearing of broadly east if slightly north and 2 nmi (4 km) south-southwest of Achmelvich.[3][2]
