Loch Frisa (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Friosa) is a loch on the Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland.[2][3] It falls within the Argyll and Bute unitary authority area.[4] The loch runs largely northwest to southeast. Its northwestern end is about halfway between Tobermory and Dervaig. It is the largest loch on the Isle of Mull [5] and lies in the civil parish of Kilninian and Kilmore.
Loch Frisa is considered to be low-altitude, medium-alkalinity and generally deep.[1] It is known for eagle watching.[6][7]
The ship HMS Widemouth Bay was for some time named after Loch Frisa,[8][9] and Caledonian Maritime Assets purchased a ferry in 2021 that they named MV Loch Frisa.
