Loch Tigh na Creige is an ancient settlement located 650 metres west of the western end of the loch in Sutherland, Scottish Highlands. The site comprises archaeological remains indicative of prehistoric or early historic occupation, though detailed excavation records and precise chronological attribution remain limited in the published scholarly record. The settlement's location in Sutherland reflects patterns of human habitation in the far north of Scotland during periods when such marginal lands supported dispersed communities dependent on pastoral and subsistence economies. The site is recorded within Historic Environment Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment and merits further archaeological investigation to clarify its temporal position and cultural significance within Sutherland's settlement history.
