Loch Alsh (57°16'N., 5°38'W.) separates the N side of the E end of the Isle of Skye from the mainland. The W end of the loch is entered through Kyle Akin, a narrow passage about 2.5 miles W of Kyle Rhea. Loch Alsh in its W part, is free of dangers. Loch Long and Loch Duich, leading off the E part of Loch Alsh, have little commercial importance.
