Old photograph of the hotel in Kinlochewe, Scotland. Kinlochewe, Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Iù, is a village in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It is in the parish of Gairloch. The village is at the south east corner of the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, centred on the mountain of that name, which includes some surviving areas of natural forest, the majority of which was cut down from the 16th century onwards for iron smelting which was the major industry in the area. A short but steep woodland trail runs through pine forest on the lower slopes of the reserve, giving fine views over Loch Maree and the mountain of Slioch on the other side of the loch. A longer, rougher mountain trail climbs further up the slopes of Beinn Eighe.
