Everything about The Loch Of Stenness totally explained

The Loch of Stenness together with the Loch of Harray is one of the big freshwater lochs of Mainland, Orkney. In Old Norse their names are Steinnesvatn and Heraðvatn respectively. They are named for the nearby parishes of Harray and Stenness.
   It communicates with the tidal currents of Hoy Sound, at 3 1/4 miles north east of Stromness, and has somewhat the form of the letter "V", with two arms 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 miles long, meeting in acute angle at about two miles east-north-east of the point of communication with the tidal currents. It is partly flanked with the scene of much of the action in Walter Scott's The Pirate. Upon the peninsula are to be found the Standing Stones of Stenness.Further Information
