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.

  • Le Western Rocks (Italiano: Scogli Occidentali) sono un gruppo di isolotti e scogli disabitati situati nella parte sud-occidentale delle Isole Scilly, Regno Unito, famosi per i numerosi naufragi verificatisi nella zona e per il vicino Faro di Bishop Rock. Nel 1971 le Western Rocks sono state classificate come "Sito di Speciale Interesse Scientifico" in virtù delle loro colonie di uccelli marini. Approdare sulle isole è un'impresa difficoltosa che viene scoraggiata; da qui la scarsità di visite da parte di naturalisti e di relative pubblicazioni. (it)

  • Die Western Rocks sind eine unbewohnte Inselgruppe im Westen der Scilly-Inseln in Cornwall. Die mehr als 15 Felseninseln liegen südwestlich von St. Marys und nördlich von Bishop Rock. Die im Karbon entstandenen Inseln sind Teil des und seit 1971 durch den Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) aufgrund der hier heimischen seltenen Seevögel-Kolonien geschützt. Aufgrund der vielen Untiefen im Bereich der Western Rocks kam es zu wiederholten Schiffsunglücken. Insbesondere der Untergang eines englischen Geschwaders unter dem Oberbefehl von Cloudesley Shovell 1707, bei dem 1.450 Seeleute starben, ist bemerkenswert. (de)
