Glenastle Loch is a double lake on the Scottish Hebridean island of Islay . It is located in the southern part of the island on the Oa peninsula about 1.5 km north-northeast of Coillabus . The lake is about 1100 m long and a maximum of about 180 m wide. It consists of two individual lakes lying next to each other, the western one also being referred to as the Lower Glenastle Loch . Both lakes are connected by an approximately 50 m long stream. Three short streams flow into Glenastle Loch : Glengolach Burn , Struthan na Leacainn and Struthan ca Cailliche ; a stream called Struthan nan Criche flows into Lower Glenastle Loch . At the western end of the Lower Glenastle Loch the Abhainn Alt Astail flows off, which pours into the Atlantic Ocean after 1.5 km on the west coast of Oa .
On the north bank of Loch Glenastle was once the scattered settlement of Glenastle , which stretched 1.5 km in a westerly direction over Tornabakin to Lower Glenastle . The village was probably abandoned in the 19th century.
