A coastal landscape of the Isle of May captured from an elevated perspective looking down at the sea and cliffs. On the left dark-rugged asalt rock columns and cliffs meet the deep blue ocean with white surf crashing against the base. A small pebble beach or rocky shoreline is visible near the cliffs, blending into green moss or algae. The top half of the cliff face is covered in a vibrant green grassy plateau that extends in the distance. In the far background, a faint structure resembling a lighthouse.

The Isle of May is celebrating a huge milestone this month, marking 70 years as a National Nature Reserve (NNR)
