Loch Aineort's hidden harbour This tiny harbour on Loch Aineort, South Uist, is not much wider than a single car garage. Maybe this is why it escaped the OS cartographers! I haven't been able to find it on any map including all the scales available on MAGIC.  It does, however, show up clearly on Google Earth.

Sloc Dubh and Loch Aineort The nearest stretch of water is an almost landlocked arm of Loch Aineort, linked only by the narrow inlet just to the left of the two erratics perched on the hillside. The distant hills are Stulabhal and Airneabhal, with the lower peak of Beinn Ailean in between.
