Description
This sea loch is just over 7 miles loch and runs from west from The Narrows at Annat (the north end of Loch Linnhe) to Kinlocheil (Ceann Lochiall). The Mallaig Extension (West Highland Railway) runs along the north bank serving Loch Eil Outward Bound and Locheilside.
During construction of the line materials were delivered by sea to the work sites. For building the line further west a major depot was built at Kinlocheil Depot where a pier was built and puffers could be beached.
