Loch Striven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loch Striven (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Sroigheann) is a sea loch adjoining the west side of the Firth of Clyde just north of the Isle of Bute, where it forms a narrow inlet about 8 miles (12 km) long extending north into the Cowal peninsula. During times of recession in shipping the loch has been used as a sheltered anchorage for laid up vessels such as large oil tankers.[1]
