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.
