"In the Cape original, it's Barra."
There is a star (mine are white against a light grey sea) towards the bottom of the left edge of the map, not far from Barra, which I take to be Mingulay. The isolated star I was referring to is apparently a tiny (half mile across) island which the Ordnance Survey refers to as Oigh-sgeir and Google calls Garbh Sgeir. By either name, Captain Flint is welcome to it. It doesn't look like the sort of place I'd want to take a sailboat within a mile of. It has a helipad near the lighthouse if anyone wants to pay it a flying visit.
