Some History
Loch Shiel holds a history back to the seventh century dedicated to St Finan. The loch provided a highway route through the mountains from west to east and became a boundary between the areas of Moidart, Ardgour and Sunart. It was on the north end of this loch that Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard at Glenfinnan to start the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
The region is a Special Protection Area for wildlife, bird species, fish and fauna. Remnants of the Great Caledonian Forest are still seen along its 28 kilometre length.
The area has been the location for such films as the Harry Potter series, Highlander, and the Master of Ballantrae.

Imogen –
Loch Shiel glistening under the sun looks inviting. The artist has captured the way the light dances on the water and the mountains frame the scene beautifully. It makes me want to go paddling.
