Loch Erisort, Sea inlet in Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Loch Erisort extends 8 miles inland from the eastern coast of Lewis, forming a narrow waterway that penetrates deep into the island landscape.
The inlet's name originates from Norse settlers who named it Eiríksfjorðr, marking the presence of Viking settlements in the Outer Hebrides during medieval times.
The Ravenspoint Centre near the loch maintains the Angus Macleod Archive, preserving local historical documents and cultural materials of the Lewis communities.
Visitors can access the loch via local roads from Stornoway, with the Ravenspoint visitor centre in Kershader providing fuel, accommodation, and shopping facilities.
The inlet contains Eilean Chaluim Chille, an islet that housed a chapel dedicated to St Columba, with visible architectural remains still present.
