    There is now a National School on that left hand corner, which might have showed up if it had been built. Dated 1908 - goo.gl/maps/4Q854SaFXbp

    Sometimes Flickr is amazing! In 2015 via martin fleming, slightly to the right, see how the pyramid rock lines up with the jetty -

    It wasn't peace, quiet and tranquility in 1901 -
    " ... On the island an epidemic of typhus fever made its appearance. Here, owing to the poverty and ignorance of the people and the insanitary state of their houses, it was found a fruitful breeding ground, and it was in combating this epidemic that Dr. Smyth laid down his life, a martyr to his sense of duty. "Alone each day he rowed his boat across the stormy waters of the Sound to the island, a distance of four miles. Into the cottages, devoid of sunlight, and therefore, owing to lack of sunlight and ventilation, reeking with foul air, he daily made his way. In many cases he had to carry a lighted candle to enable him even to see his patients, lying sometimes three or four in one bed. "Alone he tried to be at once a nurse and a doctor to these poor stricken people in their miserable homes. When at length he succeeded in persuading them that their only chance of recovery lay in their removal to the mainland, he was confronted with the difficulty that owing to the terror of the contagion no one would help him, or even lend him a boat."

    I see a telegraph or electricity pole half-way between the white cottage and the left-hand side of the image. Having played with the colour levels a bit, I also think I see a black car at the base of the pole, facing end on to the camera. Perhaps a date towards the latter end of the range?

    Hard to say with any exactitude, but it looks a bit like the wibbly mountain at Adrigole: www.google.com/maps/@51.69349,-9.7217963,3a,75y,274.45h,9...
