Loch Carron (Scottish Gaelic: "Loch Carrann") is a sea loch on the west coast of Ross and Cromarty in the Scottish Highlands. It is the point at which the River Carron enters the North Atlantic Ocean.
According to the marine charts, the tidal currents reach 3 knots in the narrows, although there is little visible water disturbance from the flow. At the narrows, the depth of water is less than 20 metres, but in the basins on either sides it extends to a depth of more than 100 m. Beneath the cliffs at Strome Castle is a colony of flame shells.

Famous quotes containing the word loch:
“Oh, many a day have I made good ale in the glen,
That came not of stream, or malt, like the brewing of men;
My bed was the ground, my roof the greenwood above,
And the wealth that I sought, one far kind glance from my love.”
—Unknown. The Outlaw of Loch Lene (l. 1–4)
