Inchcape
Inchcape or the Bell Rock is a reef about off the east coast of Angus, Scotland, near Dundee and Fife, occupied by the Bell Rock Lighthouse. The name Inchcape comes from the Scottish Gaelic Innis Sgeap, meaning "beehive isle", probably comparing the shape of the reef to old-style skep beehives. According to legend, the alternative name Bell Rock derives from a 14th-century attempt by the Abbot of Arbroath to install a warning bell on the reef; the bell was removed by a Dutch pirate who perished a year later on the rocks, a story that is immortalised in "The Inchcape Rock" (1802), a poem by Rob
Svinør
Svinør is an island in Lindesnes municipality in Agder county, Norway. The island lies immediately south of the mainland by the village of Åvik. The island essentially forms the southern part of the Åvik village harbour. The island sits about half-way between the Lindesnes peninsula to the west and the town of Mandal to the east. The fishing village is very picturesque due to its wooden houses dating back to the 1700s and 1800s.
