Lord Lovart cove

Hi All

Ive been researching my dads cousin James Hutchinson who was lost on Hms Fidelity .As you all know a ship lost in mysterious circumstances.But Ive blundered onto a reference on a admiralty chart called Lord Lovats cove on the island of Mull Scotland. It is only on the chart for nautical navigation .James was with Lovart at Dieppe would this location be used for training for the raid .

Yours

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the CVA Website & Forums.

An interesting question, but I don't think it has any connection with any Commando raid.

Marked on the screenshot is 'Lord Lovat's Bay' on the Isle of Mull, at the top of the bay is 'Lord Lovat's Cave' where it is said that Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat hid during the 1745 rebellion - getting provisions from the proprietor of Lochbuie House before he was captured by the Redcoats and taken to London where he was beheaded on Tower Hill, 9 April 1747...
