From the Wikipedia article
Bun Sruth is a small loch about 70 yards (64 m) in length at the southeast extremity of the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is surrounded by hills and is connected to the sea by a narrow passage between cliffs of sheer rock, from which its name, meaning "Bottom of the stream", is derived.

Background
Visiting
The only access to Bun Sruth is on foot or by boat. From the sea the narrow tidal gorge is difficult to find, and difficulties in negotiating the channel can arise from the fast tidal flow and from seaweed which prevents the use of a propeller. At low tide the water level in the loch is higher than sea level, and drains over a rock shelf in the entrance, making entrance by boat impossible until the tide has risen at least seven feet. Exit by boat is thus best undertaken just after high tide.
