Shiel, Loch

Narrow lake in southwest Highland unitary authority, Scotland, extending 27 km/17 mi in length, and widening to less than 1 km/0.6 mi. It marked the boundary between the former counties of Inverness and Argyll.

A monument stands at Glenfinnan, at the head of the loch, marking the place where Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his standard on 19 August 1745 in his bid for the throne.
