I think I'm right the Earl of Caithness failed in his (astonishing) attempt to amend the Scotland Act 2012 to the effect that Rockall "Rockall shall be owned by the United Kingdom" in the event of Scottish independence (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill/2010-2012/0079/amend/ml079-i.htm).

Any chance that Westminster or rUK would want to claim it, due to its significant position out to the west, and the surrounding maritime area its owner lays claim to?
