In an unflinching formation that featured a hint of pugnacity, spotted sea birds carefully maneuvered above a clandestine, rock-ribbed island located almost twenty miles northwest of Skellig Michael.
Lost amid the ferocity of a continuously raging ocean and unknown to even the most detailed nautical charts, decades of maritime vox populi commonly dismiss the tiny island as an eerie myth.

Insightful and informative post complete with a 1996 UNESCO World Heritage Site of Skellig Michael. My research, brief as it was, informed me of a monastic community which built their monastery on the sloping rocks. Have you been there? George Bernard Shaw visited in 1910 and described it as an incredible place an part of our dream world. Love the post so keep dreaming, Mr. Edward.

I have not been there, but I did some research because I wanted the island (for reasons I cannot reveal right now) woven into my story. Thank You, as always, for your thoughtful words Dr. Mary.

I consider myself part Irish since my mother’s maiden name was Mooney. My sister just returned from a trip to Ireland and Poland doing research on family history. If I were in Ireland, I might look up this desolate place which has historical value.
