Brenton Loch

Brenton Loch is an inlet-cum-small fjord in the Falkland Islands. It is one of a handful of sea lochs outside Scotland. It is sometimes known as "Brenton Sound". "Loch" is normally pronounced as "lock" in the English rather than Scottish manner, i.e. without a fricative "ch". The far south of the loch is known as "La Boca" or "The Boca".

History
In 1846, Samuel Lafone established a settlement at Hope Place on the southern shores of Brenton Loch, which was mainly populated by gauchos. In the 1920s, the sailor Conor O'Brien visited the loch on board his ship Saoirse, in which he circumnavigated. In 1976, pilot Ian Campbell drowned after his Beaver floatplane crashed into the loch. During the Falklands War, HMS Arrow was anchored in the loch, providing covering fire for the Battle of Goose Green. ==References==
