'''Loch Kirkaig''' is a small tidal sea loch, that separates [[Assynt]] in south-west [[Sutherland]] from [[Coigach]] in [[Cromartyshire]]. Loch Kirkaig is a mile and a quarter south of [[Loch Inver]]. The scattered crofting township of [[Inverkirkaig]] is located next to a pebbly beach, at the headland of the round bay, which has no known name.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kirkaig, Loch|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst4270.html|website=The Editors of The Gazetteer for Scotland|publisher=School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh and The Royal Scottish Geographical Society|accessdate=22 November 2017|date=2016}}</ref> The name Kirkaig comes from Old Norse, ''Kirkju-vik'' meaning "church bay", perhaps suggesting that in Viking times, there was a church, with a village located in the bay.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inverkirkaig|url=https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lochinver/inverkirkaig/index.html|website=Undiscovered Scotland|publisher=Undiscovered Scotland|accessdate=6 January 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Settlements==<br />
Inverkirkaig lies at the head of the sea loch, surrounding a small sand and pebble beach. The principal settlement in the area is the village of [[Lochinver]] in Assynt, which is located a mile north-west of the beach, along the unnamed coast road.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Loch Kirkaig is bounded by Kirkaig point in the north, and Ribha na Brèige point.<br />
<br />
Loch Kirkaig is fed by the [[River Kirkaig]], which drains the lochs of [[Fionn Loch]], [[Loch Veyatie]], [[Cam Loch]] [[Loch á Chapuil]], and indirectly [[Loch nan Ràc]], [[Loch Borralan]] and [[Loch Urigill]]. Travelling in a southeasterly direction along the River Kirkaig through a wooded glen, is the natural wonder and tourist attraction, the 66-foot [[Falls of Kirkaig]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Kirkaig Falls|url=http://www.discoverassynt.co.uk/viewdetails.php?id=55&rf=cat_152|website=Discover Assynt|publisher=Assynt Tourism Group|accessdate=23 November 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
The small island of Sgeir Mhòr is located close to the southern coast of the bay.<br />
