"Hermaness is renowned for its internationally important seabird colonies, including the world's third largest great skua colony, fulmars, gannets, shags, puffins and guillemots." (Wikipedia)

At the time of our visit, we saw the errant Black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) who had joined the gannet colony - he was somewhere on this cliff! Wikipedia again: "Hermaness was also home to a black-browed albatross – an extreme rarity in the Northern Hemisphere – every summer from 1972 until 1995 (except 1988 and 1989). This bird, nicknamed 'Albert', proved a major attraction to birdwatchers."
