Dance Information
The Gulf of Corryvreckan (alternative spelling, Corrievrechan) (from the Gaelic "cauldron of the speckled seas"), also called the Strait of Corryvreckan, is a narrow strait between the islands of Jura (pronounced "joo-rah") and Scarba, in Argyll and Bute, in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland.Strong Atlantic currents and unusual underwater topography conspire to produce a particularly intense tidal race in the Corryvreckan channel making it the third largest whirlpool in the world.
