Gairloch

Gairloch is a small village on the shores of Gair Loch on the northwest coast of Scotland. A popular tourist destination in the summer months, Gairloch boasts a golf course, a small museum, several hotels, a community centre, a leisure centre with sports facilities, a local radio station, beaches and nearby mountains.

The parish and community of Gairloch extends over a much wider area, including the villages of Poolewe and Kinlochewe, and even Diabaig and Alligin on Loch Torridon. The nearest train station is located at Achnasheen. The nearest mainland airport is in Inverness.

Gairloch and nearby Badachro have a strong history of creel shellfish fishing as well as small scale trawl fishing. The number of active boats is in decline, however, and Gairloch has seen both of its shellfish processing businesses fall by the wayside over the last 10 years. There are still a few dedicated fishermen who work regularly for their living, but many have moved on.
