Inchcape
According to legend, probably folk etymology, the rock is called Bell Rock because of a 14th century attempt by the abbot from Arbroath ("Aberbrothock") to install a warning bell there which was removed by a Dutch pirate after a year. This story is immortalised in "The Inchcape Rock" (1820), a poem by Robert Southey.
