Loch of Braewick, Eshaness; after the sea breached the loch in July/Aug. 1936. The sea came in over, and broke, the bar between beach and loch, and much of the loch drained out. Following this the timbers of a boat, reported as Norse, were exposed on the bottom of the loch.Photo from Shetland Museum and Archives.
