Isles of Scilly

The Isles of Scilly (Cornish: Ynysek Syllan) form an archipelago of islands off the Cornish coast. Traditionally part of Cornwall, the southwesternmost area of the UK, they now have their own local government in the form of a unitary authority and have also been designated the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
