Name
Inisbofin - Inis Bó Finne (Island of the white cow)
Inishbofin's rocks are metamorphic schists and gneiss, it rises to a
maximum height of 89m and has a very fine natural harbour. The island is popular with visitors.
In contrast it's nearby and smaller neighbouring island, Inishark has been uninhabited since October 1960 in part due to its lack of a safe harbour.
