text: # Loch Inver
  
  Loch Inver is a 3.62-kilometre-long (1+61⁄64-nautical-mile) sea loch in Assynt, Sutherland and is on the northwest coast of Scotland. The loch meets the coastal embayment of Enard Bay at the north end and The Minch, where it meets Soyea Island at its mouth.
  
  ## Geography
  
  At the head of the bay is Soyea Island. It is small rocky uninhabited island whose radial axis lies on a horizontal line, the same as the bay, and is located 1+3⁄4 nmi (3 km) from Badnaban on a bearing of broadly east if slightly north and 2 nmi (4 km) south-southwest of Achmelvich.
