It has a lighthouse on it, which was built in 1857 at a cost of £21,000.[1][2] Robert Louis Stevenson's family were lighthouse builders, and his signature can be seen in its guestbook.[3] The keepers lived on nearby Grunay.

The island was bombed twice in World War II by the German Luftwaffe, because it was suspected to harbour a munitions factory.[3]
