Inchcolm Island and Abbey

Inchcolm Island with its old Abbey viewed from Aberdour, on a day when the sea looked like milk!

 

Inchcolm (from the Scottish Gaelic "Innis Choluim", meaning Columba's Island) is an island in the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Repeatedly attacked by English raiders during the Wars of Scottish Independence, it was fortified during both World Wars to defend nearby Edinburgh. Inchcolm now attracts visitors on short boat trips to see its former Augustinian Abbey and its wildlfe too.
