Loch Seaforth

Loch Seaforth

Loch Seaforth (in Scottish Gaelic, "Loch Shiphoirt") is sea loch in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It forms the boundary between Lewis and Harris and formerly was the boundary between the traditional counties of Ross and Cromarty and Inverness-shire.

"Loch Seaforth" was also the name of the MacBraynes mailboat which linked Stornoway with Mallaig and Kyle of Lochalsh from 1947 until 1973. On 22nd March 1973 she ran aground on Cleit Rock in the Sound of Gunna (between Tiree and Coll) and was subsequently scrapped.
