Resart, Loch, a sea-loch at the mutual border of Uig parish, Ross-shire, and Harris parish, Inverness-shire, on the W side of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides. Opening from the W, and penetrating 7¼ miles eastward, it measures 2 miles across the entrance, and contracts gradually to a point. Scarp island protects its entrance; and a salmon-stream of its own name flows 5 miles northward to its head from Harris.
