NG6362 : Skerry with ruins
near to Cow Rock [other Features], Highland, Great Britain
Skerry with ruins
The ruin on this skerry appears to be a concrete foundation, probably for a beacon, light, or other marker to help mariners avoid the dangerous rocks here. From a distance, it looks like the conning tower of a submarine (and submarines do indeed operate in nearby - deeper - waters).
In the background can be seen the buoy shown in NG6363 : Skerry and buoy, which is presumably the modern replacement for what once stood here.
