Three ages - three landmarks. An ancient chambered cairn, known as an entrance grave, whose mound would have been visible from all land and sea around. A 19th century windmill converted to a memorial to King Edward has been a landmark for over 160 years. The island has its own power generator and its chimney is the landmark of the modern era.
