Old Photograph Heilam Loch Erribol Scotland

Old photograph of Heilam on the shores of Loch Erribol, Sutherland, Scotland. Around the shores of the loch are the crofting townships of Eriboll, Laid, Heilam, Portnancon and Rispond. The Royal Navy have been frequent visitors to the loch, particularly during World War II. Portnancon, on the western shore of Loch Eriboll, was where the company of the HMS Hood spent their last shore leave prior to the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and there are stones arranged by sailors into the names of their warships, including Hood and Amethyst, on the hillside above the hamlet of Laid.
