The Western Rocks are a group of uninhabited islands 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.
