The Isle of Man’s place in the UK?
October 19th, 2006A reader asks: “Looking through your page on the largest islands of Great Britain, could you tell me where would the Isle of Man be in this compilation?”
The list is of islands of the United Kingdom, hence the omission: the Isle of Man is not part of the UK, but a separately administered crown dependency.
At about 571 sq. km, it would be the 8th largest island in the UK if it were part of the UK.
