What a magnificent rock! I wonder what kind of rock it is (doubt very much it´s chalk). Looks like you have fair weather and calm seas, Brendan.
ReplyDelete" it is a steep-sided volcanic rock, 107 metres (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets. The rock is uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, which after the Commonwealth period was used as a prison. The island belongs to Sir Hew Hamilton-Dalrymple, whose family acquired it in 1706, and before to the Lauder family for almost six centuries. The Bass Rock Lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902, and the remains of an ancient chapel survive." (wikipedia)
ReplyDeleteCan you get a shot of the lighthouse if possible?
Sorry Mary, the lighthouse was on the other side and would only have been a speck on the photo if I had taken one.
Deletelooks like an iceberg. Just read that it turns brilliant white by sheer number of gannets (sula bassana) crammed on the island.
ReplyDeleteA lonely bleak place for a prison.
