Scottish teacher launches solo attempt to beat Rockall record

Cam' Cameron hopes to live alone on small rock in north Atlantic for up to 60 days to beat decade-long record

A Scottish teacher has begun a solo attempt to beat the record for occupying Rockall in the north Atlantic, after his two companions left him behind after finishing their parts in the expedition.

Cam" Cameron, 53, hopes to live alone on the small rock for up to 60 days and at least surpass the record of 45 days set nearly a decade ago by Nick Hancock, a chartered surveyor from near Edinburgh.
