Rockall of Helen’s Reef  

Rockall is the most westerly point of the British Isles, 187 miles of the St. Kilda archipelago, officially annexed in September 1955. Denmark, on behalf of the Faroes and Iceland also have claims to it, but let them grumble, Rockall is British!

Here a Lesser Black Backed Gull considers stopping to rest alongside more common visitors like Gannets, Kittiwakes and Guillemots.

The world’s largest oceanic waves at 29 meters were recorded here in the year 2000.
