Abstract
MAN has such little interest in Rona that this island of less than half a square mile has disappeared from many maps of Scotland. It lies about forty-five miles north-east of the Butt of Lewis and north-west of Cape Wrath. The island is completely rockbound, the cliffs varying from a few feet to 355 feet in height. The continual Atlantic swell makes landing difficult and often impossible.
