Loch na Keal (Scottish Gaelic: Loch na Caol), meaning Loch of the Kyle, or Narrows, also Loch of the Cliffs, is the principal sea loch on the western, or Atlantic coastline of the island of Mull, in the Inner Hebrides, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Loch na Keal extends over 20 kilometres (12 mi) inland, almost bisecting Mull, and extending to within 5 km (3 mi) of the eastern shore.[2] The loch gives its name to the Loch na Keal National Scenic Area, one of forty national scenic areas in Scotland.[3]
