And finally, St Olaf's Chapel (12th century).

This is not an island you come to if you want to zoom around and look at everything and then leave. If you like to wander and take photos and stare at wonderful scenery, it is definitely a place to visit. And there things to look at (easier if you do have a car, but I didn't).

I missed it very much when I left.

Inside a ruined stone chapel. At the end is a wall with an arched door opening and above that an open rectangular window opening. A length wall half this height stretches out to enclose this space. The stones of the wall are almost hidden by lichen. 
There are two graves inside, surrounded by rusty metal railing with spiked tops. One grave has a grey cross covered in lichen. The other is a flat stone with names and verses (not legible at this photo size), early/mid Victorian-era. There's another stone to the side (early 20th C), flat, painted white with paint coming off, partially hidden behind a clump of spiky weds. The ground is generally over grown but a less overgrown than the rest path has been worn through the centre.
