Tournaig is a remote scattered crofting and fishing hamlet, that sits on the confluence of the sea loch, Loch Thùrnaig to the west, and Loch Nan Dailthean to the south in Achnasheen, Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
During World War II a Balloon Barrage called the Loch Ewe defences was stationed near Tournaig farmstead. Several of the structures are still there including the watertower and several huts.[1]
The fishing village of Poolewe is situated less than 2 miles south along the A832 road.
