Loch Laich, Appin, Argyll

Loch Laich lies on the coast of Appin between Glencoe in the north and Oban in the south and is an inlet of Loch Linnhe.
It is a small sea loch to the south west of Portnacroish and at the mouth on a small islet known as Rock of the Cormorants is Castle Stalker, a large stone 15th century tower house founded by Sir John Stewart, Lord of Lorn. The castle was only ever reachable by boat which made it highly defendable.
Beyond Loch Laich is Loch Linnhe and the coast and mountains of Morvern.
