MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Inishsirrer (<i>Inis Oirthir</i>) in area Donegal Islands, Ireland
Picture: View of Inishsirrer from the mainland at low tide
 
Uninhabited except a few sheep.

I did kayak to the island in 2014. There is a slipway facing the mainland. Lot's of ruined houses. Walking is decent as the island is flat but in places ground is uneven and overgrown, there are only some sheep paths. On the far end there is a wee lighthouse (or a signal station) and some interesting rock formations. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2015/comment/19522/
