' CHAPTER III: THE BUILDING OF THE BELL ROCK Off the mouths of the Tay and the Forth, thirteen miles fromFifeness, eleven from Arbroath, and fourteen from the Red Head ofAngus, lies the Inchcape or Bell Rock. It e...xtends to a length ofabout fourteen hundred feet, but the part of it discovered at lowwater to not more than four hundred and twenty-seven. At a littlemore than half-flood in fine weather the seamless ocean joins overthe reef, and at high-water springs it is buried sixteen feet. Asthe tide goes down, the higher reaches of the rock are seen to beclothed by Conferva rupestris as by a sward of grass; upon the moreexposed edges, where the currents are most swift and the breach ofthe sea heaviest, Baderlock or Henware flourishes; and the greatTangle grows at the depth of several fathoms with luxuriance.
