🪨 Skerries of the World

These are notable skerries — low rocky islets too bare and small for soil or settlement, scraped smooth by glaciers and beaten by surf, lining the Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian and Atlantic coasts and long feared by the mariners who had to thread between them. Each profile shows where the skerry lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
