Wreck of the trawler "Sark" The steam trawler Sark fouled her propeller with her own nets and was eventually blown ashore in Loch Eriboll. Two of the crew were drowned. The wrecking occurred in 1920 but much ironwork and two boilers remain, with a winch near the bow visible on the shoreline.

Seashore at Loch Eriboll Lighthouse The seashore just in front of the minor light on Loch Eriboll. The large white streak to the right is immediately below the lighthouse itself, and is carbide residue from an older light which was simply tipped over the side of the cliff. Intentionally or not, this white line on the rocks is visible from many miles away.
