Loch Torridon ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Loch Thoirbheartan)) is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland in the Northwest Highlands. The loch was created by glacial processes and is in total around 15 miles (25 km) long. It has two sections: Upper Loch Torridon to landward, east of Rubha na h-Airde Ghlaise, at which point it joins Loch Sheildaig; and the main western section of Loch Torridon proper. Loch a' Chracaich and Loch Beag are small inlets on the southern shores of the outer Loch, which joins the Inner Sound between the headlands of Rubha na Fearna to the south and Red Point to the north.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Get-a-map )〕 The name ''Thoirbhearta'' has a similar root to ''Tarbert'' and indicates a place where boats were dragged overland. ==Islands== The islets in the loch include: * in Loch Shieldaig: Eilean an Inbhire Bhàin, Eilean Dùghaill and Shieldaig Island. * in Upper Loch Torridon: Eilean à Chaoil, Eilean Cnapach, both of which are tidal. * in outer Loch Torridon: Eilean Mòr, Eilean Tioram, Sgeir Ghlas, Sgeir na Trian.〔 Shieldaig Island has been owned by the National Trust for Scotland since 1970. It has a coverage of Scots Pine, which may have grown from seeds taken from Speyside in the mid-19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shieldaig )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loch Torridon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
