Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Dun-na-Feulan or Gull Rocks

Dun-na-Feulan or Gull Rocks, two rocky islets near the cliffs of Sanda island, in Small Isles parish, Argyllshire. Of different magnitudes, but of similar height, rising 100 feet above sea-level, they form striking scenic combinations with surrounding objects; and, when the mountains of Rum are swathed in clouds and the intervening sea-sound is lashed into tumult by a storm, their appearance is singularly grand. One of them is so slender as to present some resemblance to a steeple; and it consists partly of trap rock and partly of conglomerate, divided from each other by a vertical plane.
