whirlpool, dangerous place / area
The Corryvreckan is one of only a handful of tidal whirlpools in the world.
Legends abound about the origin of the name: the most common relates to the Gaelic phrase coire bhreacan, Brecan's Cauldron. There's a story about Prince Brecan and an attempt to woo a woman.
Sea-fari offers tours of the whirlpool by boat from Easdale just south of Oban.
