Sceilg Mhichíl and Sceilg Bheag are towering sea crags rising from the Atlantic Ocean almost 12 kilometres west of the Ivereagh Peninsula in County Kerry. Both islands are internationally renowned as one of the most important sites for breeding seabirds in Ireland. Located at the western edge of the European landmass, Sceilg Mhichíl was the chosen destination for a small group of ascetic monks who, in their pursuit of greater union with God, withdrew from civilisation to this remote and inaccessible place. Sometime between the sixth and eight centuries, a monastery was founded on this precipitous rock giving rise to one of the most dramatic examples of the extremes of Christian monasticism.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">The monastic community moved to the mainland by the thirteenth century and the island remained uninhabited until the nineteenth century when two lighthouses were constructed and linked by a remarkable road cut into the rock along the southern edge of the island.</span></p>
