Kyle of Lochalsh is located at the entrance to Loch Alsh, opposite the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. A ferry used to connect the two villages until it was replaced by the Skye Bridge in 1995.

Kyle of Lochalsh is the English name of the town, which is known as Caol Loch Aillse in Scottish Gaelic. Most of the locals speak Scottish Gaelic, a Celtic language related to Irish. The relationship with the Irish language can be explained by the immigration of Scots from Ireland to Scotland from the 4th century onwards.
