Logan Rock is an example of a logan or rocking rock and also the name given to the small peninsula on which the rock stands. Although weighing over 80 tons, the rock’s fine balance enabled it to be rocked by a single man. In 1824 a group of sailors under the command of Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith, R.N. managed to dislodge the rock, much to the annoyance of local people. After a considerable number of complaints to the Royal Navy, the sailors were made to replace the rock from where it had fallen, not an easy task. The rock can be see at the highest point at the end of the peninsula, looking quite insignificant for 80 tons.
