Rockall

Rockall is a pretty desolate place, although it does possess a certain rugged beauty. It is about 300 miles off the coast of Scotland, measures just 83 feet across, 65 foot high and 100 foot wide, but has proved incredibly controversial over the years.

The map below will show exactly where Rockall is and also makes it clearer why Ireland and Iceland feel they also have a right to Rockall (and by extension its full fishing grounds and oil and gas-rich beds). Quite why the Danes think they also have a stake is completely beyond understanding.
