Kyle of Tongue

Kyle of Tongue Essentials

The Kyle of Tongue is a shallow sea loch in Sutherland, characterized by its vast tidal sandflats and dramatic mountain backdrop. The area is dominated by the 764-meter peak of Ben Loyal and the 14th-century ruins of Castle Varrich, which stands on a high promontory overlooking the water. This coastal landscape includes the sheltered Tongue Bay and the fishing village of Talmine, reflecting the remote natural beauty and Highland history of northwest Scotland.
