Nine Tides!

NOTE the fast flowing currants just off shore, It is The waters around the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse are a treacherous, fast-flowing, and deeply dramatic meeting point between Luce Bay and the Irish Channel,
Dangerous Currents and the "Nine Tides"The Nine Tides: This famous local phenomenon features raging, swirling currents and opposing tidal rips that clash violently around the headland.Timing: The turbulent rips peak roughly 90 minutes after low tide.Tidal Speeds: Tidal streams can reach maximum rates of up to 6 knots right off the Mull.History: The erratic swells and invisible underwater hazards have caused many shipwrecks over the centuries.

The fence is just as a deterrent I assume,

HFF and a good weekend to all! Large view perhaps!
