About The Port Of Loch Ewe
Loch Ewe is a sheltered sea loch in Wester Ross, on Scotland's rugged northwest coast, framed by heather-covered hills and open Atlantic views. During the Second World War it served as a key assembly point for Arctic convoys carrying supplies to the Soviet Union, and scattered wartime remnants can still be found around its shores. Today the loch is valued mainly for its quiet, unspoiled beauty and its place in that history.
Nearby Poolewe is home to Inverewe Garden, a renowned Highland garden where mild air carried by the Gulf Stream allows subtropical and exotic plants to flourish far north of their usual range. Visits typically involve tendering ashore, with the garden and surrounding trails a short transfer from the pier. The wider area rewards those drawn to dramatic Highland landscapes, birdlife, and a slower, contemplative pace.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Loch Ewe.
Explore Inverewe Garden
Wander woodland walks and exotic plantings unlikely elsewhere at this latitude, a short transfer from the tender pier at Poolewe; allow at least an hour to see the highlights.
Visit the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum
A small museum near Aultbea recounts Loch Ewe's role as a wartime rallying point for Arctic convoys, with photographs, artifacts, and personal accounts worth the detour.
Walk the Loch's Shoreline
Follow quiet paths along the water's edge past gun emplacements and other wartime remnants, with wide Atlantic views and a good chance of spotting seabirds or seals.
