Kintail () is a mountainous area sitting at the head of Loch Duich in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, located in the Highland Council area.
==Name== The area is called Cinn t-Sàile in Scottish Gaelic – which, since the "s" is silent, is anglicised as Kintail – and literally translates as the Head (ie end) of the Salt Water/Sea, describing very literally the area sitting at the head/end of Loch Duich (a long fjord-like sea loch).
