Description
Scotch Cap is located on SW coast of Unimak I., Aleutian Islands.
History
This name was originally applied about 1880 by U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) to what is now called "Pinnacle Rock," because of the latters resemblance to a "Scotch cap." However, because the precipitous cliff behind the rock was a better landmark from the sea, the name was transferred to it. See also Pinnacle Rock.
