context_page_description: Loch Ewe is a sea loch in the region of Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The shores are inhabited by a traditionally Gàidhlig-speaking people living in or sustained by crofting villages, the most notable of which, situated on the north-eastern shore, is the Aultbea settlement. The four-mile long River Ewe enters Loch Ewe from the following thirteen lochs of the surrounding basins:
  Loch Maree
  Loch Fada
  Loch Garbhaig
  Loch Coulin
  Loch Clair
  Loch Tollaidh
  Loch Kernsary
  Loch Ghiuragarstidh
  Loch Mhic' Ille Rhiabhaich
  Loch a' Bhaid-Luachraich
  Loch Sguod
  Loch an t-Slagain
  Loch Drainc
context_section_description: Loch Ewe is often praised for its scenic beauty, especially in the vistas from the so-called midnight walk (the A832 single-track road to the left of Loch Kernsary) about a mile and a half to the north of Tournaig. This is the subject of many strathspeys still sung today in local ceilidh. Additionally, it has several outposts above the Aultbea foreshore (around Aird Point) giving photo opportunities for tourists travelling inland.
