Brenton Loch Totally Explained

Everything about Brenton Loch totally explained

Brenton Loch (Spanish Bahia de Ruiz Puente; ) is an inlet-cum-small fjord in the Falkland Islands. It is one of a handful of so-called sea lochs outside Scotland. It is sometimes known as "Brenton Sound". "Loch" is normally pronounced as "lock" in the English rather than Scottish manner, for example without a fricative "ch". The far south of the loch is known as "La Boca" or "The Boca".
The loch cuts into East Falkland, dividing Lafonia from the northern half of the island. It lies to the west of the isthmus on which Darwin and Goose Green are located. At its seaward end, it becomes Grantham Sound. Its name may originate from the fact that many of the inhabitants of Goose Green in the 19th century were Scots
