Loch Eriboll is a 9.9 mile long sea loch used for centuries as a deep water anchorage, providing safety from the often stormy seas of Cape Wrath and the Pentland Firth. Ard Neakie, a promontory on the eastern shore of the loch, had four large lime kilns developed in around 1870. The Royal Navy used the loch during World War II and there are stones arranged by sailors into the names of their warships, including HMS Hood and Amethyst, on the hillside above the hamlet of Laid.    ID = 508     Aspect ratio 3:2
