NLO: Am Balg [name: NC 185 662]
Cape Wrath [name: NC 256 750].

(Location of loss cited as N58 32.50 W5 8.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location assigned to this record are essentially tentative. Bulzie Island is not noted as such on the 1997 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but is presumably to be equated with one of the group of skerries known as Am Balg.
