The Island is a haven for artists, birdwatchers, photographers, walkers and rock climbers. Near the Island's lake, bird life abounds; cormorants, razorbills, guillemots as well as gannets and kittiwakes can be admired. Towering cliffs provide some of Europe's finest challenges for rock climbers, on immaculate granite with amazing friction.
