Kyle of Lochalsh

Kyle of Lochalsh (schottisch-gälisch: Caol Loch Aillse) ist eine Ortschaft mit etwa 740 Einwohnern (Schätzung 2004[1]) an der Nordwestküste Schottlands, die sich im späten 19. Jahrhundert mit dem Eintreffen der Eisenbahn entwickelt hat. Der Ort ist der Endpunkt der Bahnlinie von Inverness über Dingwall.

Kyle of Lochalsh liegt gegenüber der Hebrideninsel Skye an der 1995 errichteten Skye Bridge. Der Ort ist das Verkehrs- und Handelszentrum der Region und hat einen Hafen und Yachthafen.

Bewirtschaftung von Weideland und neuerdings Lachszucht sind einige der Aktivitäten in Kyle of Lochalsh.
