The Bass Rock, or simply the Bass, is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. Approximately offshore, and north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic rock, at its highest point, and is home to a large colony of gannets.

Re: Tantallon castle

What lovey photos, Braveheart - thank you. Wasn't there a ship named 'Tantalon Castle' or did I just make that up ?
