The Gantocks are a small group of rocks lying off Dunoon in the Firth of Clyde. A 44 feet (13 metres) tall navigation beacon was constructed on the rocks in 1886 after several ships ran aground.
Despite the beacon, vessels continue to collide with the rocks.
The MV Akka was lost after grounding on the Gantocks on 9 April 1956. The PS Waverley grounded on 15 July 1977, with 715 passengers on board.
On the horizon are three islands: Little Cumbrae, Arran and Bute (left to right).
