'Hells Gate' And Switha Geograph.org.uk 1532198
'Hells Gate' and Switha Calm today but when the tide is ebbing and a strong wind blowing the sea here is extremely treacherous. The sea-bed here changes in depth from 28 metres to 60 metres causing a big surge in water. – Calum McRoberts, CC BY-SA 2.0 – Wikimedia Commons
