What is recorded here

Inis Bigil, meaning Vigil Island, holds twelve people between Achill and the mainland because the Bullsmouth Channel refuses every attempt to force a bridge across its water. The island has watched its numbers fall from over a hundred to a handful while keeping its schools, post office and Protestant Gaelic identity intact. What remains is a small place still alive, not a forgotten dot on a map.

Inis Bigil is recorded as a island in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
