This is a rather remarkable small island because at one time it must have been entirely taken over by lime-making, albeit by only two resident families. There are three kilns, one of which is certainly in a better state of repair than those at Port Ramsay. You can look down it from above as well as up it from the bottom! Behind them I think is the quarry from where the limestone was taken. Sheep are obviously kept here during the summer, and not surprisingly there are loads of nesting birds, mostly gulls I think. It is more an anchorage for lunch than an overnight stay, unless it is very calm And take care, the last time I visited there were no marks that I could see for the leading line and Antares Charts have not yet made the approach easier.
