What's the area of Piel Island? I originally gave this as 50 acres and based the assessment on a careful measurement of an OS map. Other sources, most notably the BBC in their article about the King of Piel, give other figures, 20 acres in the case of the BBC. I would have thought 50 acres to be more accurate, judging by my own visits to the island. I also assessed the area of Roa Island in a similar manner. Maybe that needs reviewing as well.
