The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. 'Tabhardh Island' is presumably to be equated with the island of Tabhaidh Mhor, the largest of the group of islands that is situated off the mouth of Loch Eireasort, on the E side of Lewis.
