Mystery harbour, Benbecula

Uploader's Comments

This loch is named as Oban Crothintin on the larger scale OS maps. The inlet shown in the photo has been built up on the southern side as if to make some sort of landing stage. The mystery is that, although it is tidal, the burn leading from the loch to the sea is very narrow, barely wide enough to get a rowing boat through at high spring tides. If a boat required sheltered moorings, the bay on the other side of the road offers that in abundance with a much easier passaage to the open water.
