Caolas Cealasaigh, also known as the Sea, Estuary, or Creek of Caolas Cealasaigh, is a notable geographical feature located in Ross-shire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast of the Scottish Highlands, Caolas Cealasaigh is a narrow stretch of water that connects the open sea with a shallow estuary and creek.

The sea portion of Caolas Cealasaigh offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. With its deep blue waters and rugged cliffs, it provides a picturesque scene for locals and visitors alike. The sea is often bustling with marine life, including seals, dolphins, and various species of seabirds.

As the water flows inland, it gradually transforms into an estuary. The estuary section of Caolas Cealasaigh is characterized by its wider expanse and shallower depths. This creates an ideal environment for various species of fish and shellfish, making it a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts. The estuary is also home to an array of marshland vegetation, providing habitat for numerous bird species.

Further inland, Caolas Cealasaigh evolves into a creek. The creek is a narrow and winding waterway, often surrounded by lush greenery and dense woodlands. It meanders through the picturesque countryside, offering peaceful and scenic views for walkers and nature lovers.

Caolas Cealasaigh, with its diverse habitats and stunning natural beauty, is a significant asset to Ross-shire.
