Kinlochewe (Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Iù[1] or Iùbh[2]) is a village in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.[3] It is in the parish of Gairloch, the community of Torridon and Kinlochewe and the Highland council area. It lies near the head of Loch Maree in its magnificent valley, and serves as a junction between the main Ullapool road north, and that which heads west to the coast at Loch Torridon. Loch Maree was at one time also known as Loch Ewe, hence the village's apparently confused name.
