About Gorregan

Gorregan is an island. Location: Isles of Scilly, England.

From Wikipedia

The Western Rocks (Cornish: Karregi Gorlewen) are a group of uninhabited skerries and rocks in the south-western part of the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom, and are renowned for the numerous shipwrecks in the area and the nearby Bishop Rock lighthouse. In 1971, the rocks and islands were designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their breeding sea birds. Landing on the islands is both difficult and discouraged and there are few published records of visits by naturalists.
