Salen ((スコットランド・ゲール語:An t-Sàilean))〔(Gaelic Place-Names of Scotland )〕 is a coastal village on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, overlooking Salen Bay which is an inlet of the sea loch, Loch Sunart. Located in the Scottish council area of Highland, it is on the road to Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly point of mainland Britain. ==Etymology== Salen is from the Scottish Gaelic ''Sàilean'', meaning "small inlet.〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 103〕 Many of the local names relate to the Viking age such as Sunart, which is derived from ''Suaineart'' meaning "Svein's fjord"〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 110〕 and Acharacle originally meaning "Torquil's field".〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 2〕 This is evidence of the Scandinavian occupation of much of northern and western Scotland from the 9th century. Somerled, who founded the Lordship of the Isles, may have hailed from the area.
