Loch Eriboll
Painting No. 64
One of the best deepwater anchorages in Britain, Loch Eriboll reaches 10 miles inland between high ridges of quartzite and Lewisian gneiss, the oldest rock in Europe. The islands in the loch are lime-stone, and a quarry dug on the wasp-waisted peninsula of Ard Neackie served 4 lime kilns built in Victorian times beside the Ard Neackie jetty. From here, a ferry used to cross to Portnancon on the opposite shore, where an earth house and a wheel house indicate settlements as early as the Iron Age. Today, you have to drive around the loch - no great hardship in such magnificent surroundings. In World War II, however, seamen nicknamed this place “Lock ‘Orrible”, because it was here that the Russian and Atlantic convoys assembled prior to sailing. In their eyes, Loch Eriboll was more of a prelude to danger and death than a present gift of beauty and life.
