'On the coast, the more remarkable points are - the Hen and Chicken reef, north, and the isolated rock of the Constable; Lamatry, and Rat Island, south; the Seals, Gannets and Gull Rocks, east; and on the west the savage chasm of the Devil's Limekiln, with the rock of the Shutter opposite its seaward mouth, as if designed to block it up.'

Hope Moncrieff 1895
