Some islands were used for military purposes, for the construction of individual buildings or for permanent settlements in which people lived for centuries. However, loss of strategic position, natural disasters, nuclear tests or simply a wish to live in civilization, led to the abandonment of these islands.
A list of abandoned islands, where time has stopped, where homes, buildings and streets standing untouched for decades.

The last time I was on Great Blasket I found that the island still has one inhabitant. She only lives there for the summer months, spinning wool and knitting.
