The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Port Driseach is not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. Doire Driseach lies inland, and an equation of Port Driseach with the prominent Inverscaddle Bay [name centred NN 027 684] may be suggested.
The unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker falls offshore, W of Gigha.
