Large numbers of artificial islets' (small man-made islands) from
the prehistoric and medieval periods, occur throughout Scotland and
although this study focuses primarily on those from the Central
Inner Hebrides, they are compared and contrasted with those in
other areas. Mark Holley looks especially at the islands of Mull,
Coll, Tiree and Islay, and at the location and spatial positioning
of these sites with regard to the availability of land for farming
and maritime and other natural resources. A survey of the local
history literature concerning these site types, the environmental
and geological background, underwater reconnaisance carried out and
a study of placenames, are all presented. This assessment of
existing material and newly-identified sites brings fresh insights
into these remote and often submerged islets and the gazetteer of
sites provides an important source of reference.
