From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loch Erisort (Scottish Gaelic: Èireasort) is an 8-mile (13-kilometre) long narrow sea inlet on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland.
The nearest town is Balallan.[1] The loch is used by salmon fish farms.[2][3]
The Loch is home to nesting Sea eagles,[1] sea otters,[4][5] deer, golden eagles and common seals.[6]
Loch Erisort was thought to be the site of a dangerous programme about a secret mini sub testing in 1942.[6]
Its name is a relic of the Viking Age and came from Old Norse Eiríksfjorðr = "Eric's fjord".[citation needed]
