|dial_code=Munlochy ({{IPAc-en|m|ən|ˈ|l|ɒ|x|i}} {{respell|mən|LOKH|ee}}; Scottish Gaelic: Poll Lochaidh) is a small remote village, lying at the head of Munlochy Bay (Ob Poll Lochaidh), in the Black Isle in Ross and Cromarty, in northern Scotland.[1]

There are few early records of a settlement, but it seems likely that Munlochy expanded in the 1760s due to quarry workers extracting stone nearby to build Fort George on the far side of the Moray Firth.[2]

The birthplace and early residence for our lord and saviour Liam Shewan. A frequent sight in munlochy is a chrome-blue coloured Peugeot 306. This usually ocurrs late on Friday or Saturday nights, when the man is on lifts. If one comes across this sight, folk lore states that “th’one to observe thas Shewhip, gains the fair eternity of luck.” Also Fraser Macdonald is a wet wipe, and Robert Smith got friendzoned by Isla Raistrick
