Skelling Islands (this is where the monks lived miles away from the mainland....they are merely rocks jutting out of the sea. The monks carved hundreds of insane dangerous steps into the cliffs in order to get to the top where there are beehive hut monasteries built of stone. Austere to say the least. The steps are still dangerous...a tourist died last year by slipping off YIKES!)
This is what the beehive huts look like (replicas in the hertiage center)
