These are subject to erosion and during the 1990s a seven-year archaeology project took place before their history was lost to the seas.
There are also two smaller islands. Round nap island which is connected to South Binness Island by a tidal causeway and Oyster Island.

“we are so many
and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”
