Above water, this rock looks a bit like the back of a whale especially when swell gently breaks over it producing a splash of white. It's exposed position among the skerries off Kinlochbervie make it a dazzling display of high energy life including brightly coloured jewel anemones, sea squirts, sponges and nudibranchs.
