Skellig Michael is the larger of the Skellig Islands tiny rocky islands off the south-west coast of Ireland. It is a World Heritage Site due to the ruins of a Celtic monastery. Both islands are important for their bird colonies.
David Almond’s book, Skellig, is named after the island; the protagonist’s name is Michael.
Skellig Michael was used as a location in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
