Photographer’s Note

We're coming to the end of the Skelligs pictures for the moment. This Photo is an evening shot of the Skelligs from the mainland. The hillocks on the right are Puffin Island. Puffin Island was named in error by the British. During their occupation they anglesised Irish place names, often taking the Irish names and making them sound more English without any relationship to the original derivation :(

It's hard to believe that the Skelligs are 9 miles away from where I took this picture!
