  • Diving on the Isle of May 2
    Isle of May National Nature Reserve Diving on the Isle of May 2 Aerial view of Isle of May NNR 3 The Isle of May On a clear day, the Isle of May seems to float in the sea like a giant basking whale. This rocky island, with sheer cliffs, caves and gentle slopes, is home to thousands of grey seals and seabirds. It lies at the junction of the sheltered Firth of Forth and the expanses of the North Sea. The rocky reefs in these cold, tide-swept waters support kelp forests and rich marine life, providing foraging grounds for the seals which breed on the island. The ‘May Isle’, as it is known locally, lies 7 kilometres (km) from Crail on the Fife coast. Although the island is only 57 hectares it is nationally and internationally important for its seabird and seal colonies. A National Nature Reserve (NNR) since 1956, the island was purchased from the Northern Lighthouse Board in 1989 and since then it has been owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Special Protection Area (SPA) for its breeding seabirds and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for its seals and rocky reefs. Ever since Fife was inhabited over 8000 years ago, the island must have attracted attention with its wild and rugged appearance. Excavations have uncovered artefacts including flint, arrowheads and a piece of polished stone axe. The oldest dateable find is a piece of Bronze Age pot made around 2000 years BC.

It is not, properly speaking, a Royal Burgh, for so far as is known, it never had a Royal Charter, and it holds feu of a parochial directory subject superior, Admiral Bethune, of Balfour. It seems, however, to have exercised the privilege for the counties of of sending a member to the Scottish Parliament without any objections; and at the Union it was classed with the two Anstruthers, Crail, and Fife and Kinross Pittenweem, in sending a member to the British Parliament; and by the Reform Bill it was, for the 1862 same purpose, conjoined with these burghs, along with Cupar and St Andrews. The magistrates had the ordinary jurisdiction of Kilrenny Parish Including magistrates of Royal Burghs, until, in Cellardyke consequence of an error in a previous election, it was disfranchised in 1828; since which period, all municipal matters have been under the charge of This Parish, containing the inland village of managers appointed by the Court of Session.
