Loch Maree is known for Isle Maree, a site of religious significance with a ruined chapel and graveyard associated with Saint Máel Ruba a missionary from Bangor Abbey who founded the monastery at Applecross. The island contains a ruined chapel, graveyard, and holy well. Queen Victoria visited the Loch Maree Hotel in 1877, leading to increased tourism and fishing interest in the loch. A local legend tells the story of a Norwegian prince and a Scottish girl who fell in love and lived on one of the islands. The waters of Loch Maree were historically believed to have curative powers, particularly on Isle Maree, and there were rituals associated with healing and making wishes, according to folklore.
