Inchard, a sea loch of Eddrachillis parish, NW Sutherland, opening from the North Minch, and striking 5½ miles eastward and south-eastward to Rhiconich inn. Its width contracts from 4 miles at the entrance to ¼ mile, but expands again to £ mile. It contains nine islets in its outermost reach; is pretty well inhabited round the shores; has somewhat bleak flanks, relieved with features of good scenery; and forms a fine natural harbour.—Ord. Sur., sh. 113, 1882.
