Diabaig (Scottish Gaelic: Dìobaig) is a remote coastal fishing and crofting township in Wester Ross, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.[1] Diabaig lies on the north shore of the sea loch of Loch Diabaig, an inlet off the north side of Loch Torridon, and is in the Highland council area.[2]
The main part of the settlement is known as Lower Diabaig. Upper Diabaig is a few houses, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east.[3] The village of Torridon, with its junction with the A896 road, is located 8.6 miles (13.8 km) from Diabaig.
Geography
[edit]Diabaig is at the end of a minor road, the C1083,[4] which runs along the north side of Loch Torridon, from the village of Torridon. The villages of Alligin Shuas and Inveralligin lie to the southeast along this road. A footpath continues along the coast from Diabaig, running 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) to the small settlement of Redpoint, near Gairloch.
Filming
[edit]Loch Diabaig played the part of Loch Ness in the 1996 film of the same name, in which Ted Danson starred.
