Geography

Loch Achall is a long narrow loch, 0.579 km (0.360 mi) at its widest point. It is dominated by the peaks of the Marilyn's Beinn Eilideach directly to the south, at 1,833 ft (559 m) and the peak of Meall Liath Choire to the north east at 1,801 ft (549 m). The loch is fed by the Rivers Rhidorroch and Allt a'Ghiubhais, while the River Ullapool flows from its western end towards Loch Broom.
