About

Eela Water (Shaetlan pronunciation: [ˈilə ˌwatər] EE-lə-WAH-tər) is a freshwater loch (lake) in Northmavine, part of the mainland of Shetland in Scotland. Besides being a freshwater fishing location, the site supplies clean water for the mainland of Shetland, and is one of the largest lochs on the mainland. The loch is 3.2 kilometres (2 mi) west of Ollaberry, and only 1.62 miles (2.61 km) to the sea (westwards).
