Cairns of Coll, Rock formation off the coast of Coll Island, Scotland.
Two distinct rocks rise from the waters of the Inner Hebrides, standing approximately 3 kilometers from the northeastern shore of Coll Island.
The rock formations have guided maritime navigation in the Inner Hebrides since the establishment of the nearby Suil Ghorm lighthouse in the nineteenth century.
Local maritime traditions incorporate these natural landmarks as essential reference points for fishing routes and sea navigation throughout the seasons.
Boats maintain a safe distance of at least 500 meters from the rocks due to strong currents and submerged formations in the surrounding waters.
The geological composition of these sea stacks reveals patterns of ancient volcanic activity that shaped the foundation of the Inner Hebrides.
