Ortac

Ortac is a small uninhabited islet about 5 km West of the coast of Alderney near to the islet of Burhou. It measures about 50 by 70 metres (160 by 230 ft).

A.H. Ewen thinks that the rock's name meant "large rock at the edge" from the Norman language Or (edge) + Etac (Stack). Alexander Deschamps said that the French used to call it "the Eagle's Nest".
