Loch Ewe (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Iùbh) is a sea loch in the region of Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The shores are inhabited by a traditionally Gàidhlig-speaking people[1] living in or sustained by crofting villages,[2] the most notable of which, situated on the north-eastern shore, is the Aultbea settlement.
