Description
The Bass Rock, a mile off the East Lothian coast at Tantallon Castle, is home to more than 150,000 Gannets and is the largest single rock gannetry in the world. The scientific name for the Northern Gannet, Sula Bassana, honours the Bass. The lower ledges of the rock are used by guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, puffins and gulls, not to mention seals.
Currently uninhabited, the rock’s history includes being settled by an early Christian hermit, hosting a fortress which became a prison for Covenanters, and the construction of a lighthouse in 1902.

Gift wrapping can be added at the cart. I use coloured kraft paper and paper ribbon (entirely recyclable). I’ll also write your message in one of my greetings cards.
Local collection: if you opt for Haddington pick-up in the shipping options, I’ll email you the address.
