Ownership
In 2004 Haswell-Smith stated that the island is "reputed to be owned by a Londoner who occasionally occupies the cave" A spokesperson for the new owners stated that the plan for the island was to "harvest seaweed, and make the island generally accessible in terms of rough pathways and [provide a] safe facility for boats to dock” but noted that "these plans have been shelved for the time being.” They added: “the island is extremely difficult to land on and therefore, we wouldn’t encourage members of the public to attempt such.” ==Footnotes==
