This article appears in Volume V24, Page 856 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHIEL, LOCH , a lake near the
Atlantic
  seaboard of
Scotland
 , lying between the
district
  of Moidart in
Inverness
 -shire and the districts of Ardgour and Sunart in
Argyllshire
 . The boundary line between the two counties is
drawn
  lengthwise down the centre of the lake and is continued down the river Shiel to the sea. The loch is 172 M.
long
  and varies in width from 200 yds. to 1 m., and is only 112 ft. above the sea. The maximum depth is 420 ft. with a mean depth of 812 ft. The lake has an area of 4840 acres or 72 sq. m., and drains directly a basin of 722 sq. m., and with an outflow from Loch Dilate, or Doilake, of 852 sq. m. Loch Dilate lies 12 m. E. of Loch Shiel, into which it flows by the Polloch. It is 12 m;
long
  at its maximum, with a maximum depth of S5 ft., and covers an area of 142 acres. For fully three-fourths of its length Loch Shiel has a southwesterly direction, but at Eilean Fhianain (Finnan's
Island
 ) it strikes towards the west. It receives the Finnan and other small streams and discharges by the Shiel to the salt-water Loch Moidart. On the north-west and
south
 -
east
  it is skirted by lofty hills (Sgor Choileam (3164), Sgor nau Coireachan (3133) and others of over 2000 ft.) ,but the land at the western extremity in Ardnamurchan is low-lying.
