Eyebroughy

Eyebroughy (or archaically Ibris; NT493859) is a small, rocky islet in the Firth of Forth, 200 m off East Lothian, Scotland.

[2] It is an RSPB reserve, and the birds breeding on the island include common eider, great cormorant and herring gull, wintering birds include ruddy turnstone and purple sandpiper.

The first was the 94-ton wooden schooner Jane which was stranded on Eyebroughy, with a cargo of alum and a single passenger on its way from Goole to Leith, on 18 December 1892.

This vessel was lost on 21 December 1900 as it driven away from a stranded steamer and ran into Eyebroughy.

[7] The Scottish historical novelist Nigel Tranter, who lived in nearby Luffness, mentioned Eyebroughy in at least two of his novels, Drug on the Market[8] and Flowers of Chivalry.
