Lochaline, Highland is the main village in the Morvern region of Highland in northern Scotland. It’s located right on the sea, on the mouth of the Loch Aline, on the northern side. In Scottish Gaelic its name is Loch Alainn. There is a ferry that can be taken from here to Fishnish, which is located on the Isle of Mull. Lochaline is located within the Lochaber (Loch Abar) ward management regions of the Highland Council of Scotland.
Lochaline has had a silica sand mine here since 1940. This mine was opened as a source to more silica due to World War II. They needed silica to manufacture optic quality glass. This mine was closed in 2008. There were many plans to reopen it, and in October 2011 it was announced it would open in 2012. The mine continues to run and is the only one of its type, as open quarrying is more common in Scotland.
The silica quartz and other minerals in this region were formed due to the erosion of the Scottish landmasses over time. During the Cretaceous period, over 93 million years ago, these minerals landed on the shore of a tropical sea, along with shales and limestone. These deposits formed during the same time that the chalk cliffs of Dover were being formed.
Over time, this sandy sediment has been reformed due to various changes in sea levels. The quartz soon became separated from the other minerals, and sorted into grains of the same sizes. This region of the silica quartz lands were protected from erosion due to a basalt covering from the Mull volcano in the region. Today, the Ben More Mountain contains only remnants of this former volcano.
Along the loch shoreline people can search for Gryphaea, which are fossilized oysters which are now extinct. During the time of the tropical sea, 200 million years ago, the oysters lived on this shoreline. The rocks in this layer of land are also of the same date as the ones in the Jurassic coast of Dorset.
Diving is a popular attraction in Lochaline. There are many shipwrecks to explore in the Sound of Mull. Each day, the diver can book one of several charter boats for diving.
The village does have some amenities, such as a snack bar that is near the ferry port, a marina, store, postoffice, restaurant, hotel, and a social club.
Visitors to the Highland must have a visit to Mingarry Castle, which is located in the smaller village of Lochaber, which is a short drive from Lochaline. This castle is in ruins and is on a ridge of rock that overlooks the sea.
