Loch Inver is a 3.62-kilometre-long (1+61⁄64-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]
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+3⁄4 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]
