Eynort, a sea-loch in the E of South Uist island, Outer Hebrides, Inverness-shire. Opening at a point 8½ miles N of the south-eastern extremity of the island, it strikes 6 miles north-westward to within a brief distance of the western coast; and, with a very irregular outline, exhibits wild and picturesque features of scenery, that only want trees or copsewood to render it in many places enchantingly beautiful.
