	British Isles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Isles is a term given to the group of islands off the northwest coast of Europe including Great Britain (containing England, Scotland, and Wales), Ireland and the many smaller adjacent islands.
		In 1140 the Hebridean Islands, the Isle of Man and Antrim came under the Norse-Gael rule of the Lord of the Isles who kept a varying degree of independence until the Hebrides were forfeited to Scotland in 1493.
		Sometimes, an ambiguous phrase such as "these Isles" or "the Isles" is used, thus utilising the same logic used when referring to the Persian Gulf as the "Gulf".

		The highest land, at this part of the isle, is of a very moderate height, descending gradually to the shore, which consists alternately of rocks and sand: some of the rocky parts, being much insulated, they form winding inlets of two or three miles in depth, and from one to two cables in breadth.
		Near the West part of the isle in a small bay was a part of the wreck of a ship, that appeared to have been but lately cast away, as a whole wale plank was found undecayed.
		This isle appears to have been a favourite resort of the Buccaneers, as we not only found seats, which had been made by them of earth and stone, but a considerable number of broken jars scattered about, and some entirely whole, in which the Peruvian wines and liquors of that country are preserved.

		A few minutes spent drawing a sketch of the Small Isles and the relative distances between and around them, along with a short discussion about alternatives “well we could go for a days paddle then if its really raining just go river paddling instead”, felt like a suitable amount of planning.
		We set up camp on a small promontory sticking out into the bay and again lit a fire in amongst the rocks and cooked and chatted as the sun set on the Sgurr.
		The next section of coast seemed extremely leisurely as we had now completed our main mission of paddling around the small isles and were back on the mainland again (and the fact that I was no longer desperate for a pee!).

		The British Isles are a group of islands off the northwest coast of Europe consisting of Great Britain, Ireland and the many smaller adjacent islands.
		Nonetheless today, because the 'British Isles' include the whole of Ireland, as well as three crown dependencies which are not a part of the United Kingdom, the term is considered an anachronism by some, or a source of potential confusion or offence.
		The geographical archipelago has been referred to by a single term for over two thousand years, foreign sources using a term pronounced "Brit-" or "Prit-" with various endings and native sources using the terms oceani insulae meaning "islands of the ocean" or insularum meaning "islands".
