This Scottish village was founded in 1800 with a view to training up seamen for war against Napoleon, but after his initial defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village; therefore, the small island just off its coast never had its tall pines harvested to rig warships, and this has now become a nature sanctuary. The name of the village is a Viking word meaning 'loch of the herring' which do indeed still populate the bay in some profusion.
