The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The *Adelaar* was a Dutch East Indiaman that wrecked in the 18th century near Ceann Aird Ghrein on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. The vessel was likely lost in stormy Atlantic weather, with no detailed records of lives or cargo lost, but its wreck is significant as a rare example of a Dutch East India Company shipwreck in Scottish waters.
