Loch-na-Keal, a sea-loch penetrating the W side of Mull island, Argyllshire. Opening a little E of Staffa island, and extending eastward to the length of 14½ miles, it measures 12½ miles across the entrance, and diminishes gradually to a width of only 1 mile; contains Gometra, Ulva, Little Colonsay, Eorsa, and Inchkenneth islands; is divided by Gometra and Ulva into two sections, slenderly connected with each other; and, in the part to the N of Gometra and Ulva, bears the separate name of Loch Tuadh.
