Inchcape

The bell was removed by a Dutch pirate who then perished a year later on the rocks, a story that is immortalised in "The Inchcape Rock" (1820), a poem by Robert Southey.

The Inchcape Rock

In his 1947 English translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, J. M. Cohen refers to "The Inchcape Rock" as having a style he wishes to avoid in his rendering of the ballads by Cervantes.
