Breacan, or Brekaft, and the Gulf of Corryvreckan

Martin wrote that the gulf takes its name from Brekaft, said to be son of the king of Denmark, who was drowned there, cast ashore in the north of Jura and buried in a cave, as appeared from the stone tomb and altar there. He also tells of an English vessel that went through the gulf when the sea began to boil, was abandoned by her crew who got to Jura in a small boat, and was found safe and with sails still set in a creek on the opposite mainland.
