Loch Ewe is a sea loch in the Wester Ross district of the Northwest Highlands of Scotland . During the Second World War, the inlet was an important assembly point for allied Northern Sea convoys towards the Soviet Union .
After the German surrender in May 1945, Loch Ewe became the British rallying point for many of the German submarines that had dropped the flag in the sea.
Today, Loch Ewe is still important to the Navy. There is a NATO supply pier near Aultbea where naval ships can pick up fuel. There is a small marine depot in Mellon Charles. Most of the buildings that were used during World War II are still there today.
