Needs more on:

• earlier setlement - who and when
• St Cuthbert (??!!)

have added a little

• Origins of word, geology, they are not Lindisfarne (but may be geologically the same structure??)
• what the boat trip visitors get - should probably be here not Seahouses.
  • no, that's not right - the Seahouses bit is not excessive and is relevant there - it's that that something better and more comprehensive about the boat trips should be in here, as well as the Seahouses stuff which is just a summary.
• how many islands and their size and spread, and distances from the mainland
• shipwrecks

several hundred, if I remember the statistics correctly

• lighthouses
• what's the white stuff down the cliff??
• wildlife

added; more to come

• is that right about the rabbits and puffins??

more or less!

• oh, I don't know, loads of other stuff!

the flight to Australia!

I don't remember the name of the exact island my picture was taken on. It was one with a zig-zag path with nesting Arctic Terns that attempt to peck you (at least during that season...). If anyone knows, please make my caption more specific. Stoive 01:03, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
