NLO: Loch Caolisport (name centred NR 736 743).

Possibly on map sheets or NR77SW.

See also NR77NE 8001.

Greenock, 6th Oct. A lighter riding with two anchors and 60 fathoms of chain, drove on the beach in Loch Killisport [Caolisport]: crew saved.

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 14,512, London, Monday October 8 1860.

NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 9898).

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. 'The beach' may be one of the sandy areas around the head of the loch.

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 28 November 2006.
