BBC News - Supplies loss could thwart Nick Hancock's Rockall record attemptThis is not original ! It was done,years ago,by Tom McClean an ex SAS adventurer, to prove that the rock was British. In fact,it is Scottish and was given to Scotland with the Western Isles, plus the Orkney and Shetland islands as a part of a settlement between Scotland and Norway centuries ago.
Currently, Iceland,Eire and Norway have made claims with the United Nations over ownership.The position is however clear. The Vikings lost the War,tough luck!! Needless to say there are huge gas and oil fields under Rockall.
