AKICILJ - more fictional British islands

[peteyoung]

Okay, further to my previous post, here's what I have so far in my search for fictional British islands. Thanks to those who've suggested some... anyone know of more?

Armorel
A fictional Channel Island based on Sark, from Jerrard Tickell's novel Appointment with Venus.

QwghlmFrom Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. As I haven't read any of these

Craggy Island (and also Rugged Island) from Father Ted (assuming you count islands in the Republic of Ireland as being British Isles).

Qwghlm should be Outer Qwghlm -- Inner Qwghlm is on the mainland.

I thought Outer Qwghlm only *called* Inner Qwghlm 'the mainland'. (In the same way that the Island of Shetland is called 'the mainland' by Shetland islanders.)

There's a train service to Inner Qwghlm. It may go over a causeway or something, but it's pretty much connected to the mainland.

Further research reveals that Inner Qwghlm used to be an island at high tide, until the sandbar connecting it to the mainland got upgraded to a causeway with a road and railway (pretty much the same as Holy Island, where Holyhead is located). So you can add Inner Qwghlm to the list as well as Outer Qwghlm if you think that makes it an island.

Yes of course, so I ought to include Tír na nÓg as well, even though it's supposedly located far to the west of Ireland.
