Loch Eriboll, Sea inlet in Highland, Scotland
Loch Eriboll extends for 16 kilometers along the north coast of Scotland, featuring deep waters between steep rocky cliffs and green fields.
German U-boats surrendered at Loch Eriboll in May 1945, with over thirty submarines docking between the 10th and 20th of that month.
The name Loch Eriboll originates from Norse words 'Eyrr-bol', indicating the historical Nordic presence and meaning 'farm on a beach'.
The roads surrounding Loch Eriboll operate on a single track system, requiring drivers to use designated passing places for oncoming traffic.
Royal Navy sailors created large stone arrangements on the hillside spelling their warships' names, including HMS Hood, during the 1920s and 1930s.
