New Comment: Interesting history on small island
by Fergalh  Mon 19 May
Landed at pier and headed inland to high point which is a high sand dune. There are a few unusual historical points about the island. Firstly it was named Rutland Island after Lord Rutland but all locals call it Inis Mhic Dorin. Secondly a street was randomly built near one of the three jettys which is mostly restored in the 1780's called Duck Street. And finally the infamous Nappy Tandy spent three days here in 1798 having alighted from a French warship. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2029/comment/24464/
