Lobster Ponds on Pabbay Mor
Lobster Ponds on Pabbay Mor
Tidal lagoon on the island of Pabay Mor, previously used as a lobster holding tank; lobsters caught in creels at sea were held here until the market price in England merited shipping them south. A small secondary one can be seen at the upper left. Construction date unknown but there is a similar pond in Loch Risay on the nearby island of Bernera which was built c1860 and which is thought to have been one of the first of its type.
