I G Whittaker 1998.
Sloggar is not noted as such on the 1999 edition of the 1:50,000 map and it remains unclear whether this loss occurred on the Atlantic or the North Sea side of the island. The location cited is taken from the Shetland Maritime Record.
The classification cited by Whittaker remains unverified.
