ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
The Russian Arctic Convoy Museum at Aultbea, on Loch Ewe in the north-west Highlands, is the UK museum dedicated to the Arctic convoys that sailed from this anchorage to North Russia. It holds artefacts and an archive of veterans' stories, and maintains the Loch Ewe Wartime Trail marking sites around the loch.
Documented by the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum.

- Endorsement by any named institution; sources are cited for documentary research only.
- Precise present-day condition, opening hours, or exact siting — confirm before relying on it.
