Bass rock in the Firth of Forth. It's covered with, you guessed it,
bird poop, and can be seen many miles away.
Geologists say it is the core of a volcano. The constant traffic of
bickering Gannets crowds the top of Bass rock. The rock once
housed political and religious prisoners. Go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Rock for more information.
For views of the birds by remote interactive cameras visit
the Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick or
