Tarbet Bay

Tarbet (Scottish Gaelic: An Tairbeart or Tairbeart Loch Nibheis) is a place on the south shore of Loch Nevis in Scotland, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of Mallaig. The name 'tarbet' (or 'tarbert') refers to a portage or isthmus, in this case it is between Loch Nevis and Loch Morar.
