The innermost part of Loch Tarbert, Jura

Uploader's Comments

Loch Tarbert is a sea loch leading eastwards into Jura from its west coast in a series of sections joined by narrows. Seen here is the innermost of these sub-lochs with a jetty or landing stage leading into it. A track leads from this loch to the eastern coast of the island just one kilometre (about half a mile) away. This narrow constriction of the island is called an isthmus - or in Gaelic "tairbeart" after which the locality on the eastern coast called "Tarbert" is named.
