Munlochy (/mənˈlɒxi/ mən-LOKH-ee; Scottish Gaelic: Poll Lochaidh) is a small village, lying at the head of Munlochy Bay (Ob Poll Lochaidh), in the Black IsleinRoss and Cromarty, in northern Scotland.[1][2]

There are few early records of a settlement, but it seems likely that Munlochy expanded in the 1760s due to quarry workers extracting stone nearby to build Fort George on the far side of the Moray Firth.[3]

Geography

[edit]

Munlochy sits at the top of the tidal inlet of Munlochy Bay, that is itself an opening of the Moray Firth.
