Ockle is a remote hamlet, on the north coast of the Ardnamurchan peninsula of Argyllshire, the long, boney finger of the county reaching westward.
The hamlet is to be found six miles north-east of Kilchoan, a ferryport village on the southern coast of Ardnamurchan. The public road winding north from there to the opposite coast of the peninsula ends in Ockle.
There is a footpath seven and a half miles long running between Ockle (at NM555704) and the public road at Arivegaig (at NM651677) two and a half miles from Acharacle.
