Editing County Dublin (section)

===Offshore islands===
In contrast with the [[Wild Atlantic Way|Atlantic Coast]], the east coast of Ireland has relatively few islands. County Dublin has one of the highest concentrations of islands on the Irish east coast. Colt Island, St. Patrick's Island, Shenick Island and numerous smaller [[islets]] are clustered off the coast of Skerries, and are collectively known as the "Skerries Islands Natural Heritage Area". Further out lies [[Rockabill]], which is Dublin's most isolated island, at about {{convert|6|km|mi}} offshore. [[Lambay Island]], at {{convert|250|ha|acre}}, is the largest island off Ireland's east coast and the easternmost point of County Dublin. Lambay supports one of the largest seabird colonies in Ireland and, curiously, also supports a population of non-native [[Red-necked wallaby|Red-necked wallabies]].<ref>{{cite web |title=East coast – Knockbane (Hill), Lambay Island |url=https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1370/ |website=MountainViews.ie |access-date=3 June 2020 |quote=Height: 126m OS 1:50k Mapsheet: 43 Grid Reference: O31600 51000 |archive-date=3 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200603091908/https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1370/ |url-status=live }}</ref> To the south of Lambay lies a smaller island known as [[Ireland's Eye]] – the result of a mistranslation of the island's Irish name by invading [[Vikings]].

[[Bull Island]] is a man-made island lying roughly parallel to the shoreline which began to form following the construction of the [[Bull Wall]] in 1825. The island is still growing and is currently {{convert|5|km|mi}} long and {{convert|0.8|km|mi}} wide. In 1981, North Bull Island (''Oileán an Tairbh Thuaidh'') was designated as a [[UNESCO]] biosphere.<ref>{{Cite web|title=North Bull Island|website=[[Ramsar Convention|Ramsar]] Sites Information Service|url=https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/406|access-date=25 April 2018|archive-date=24 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524082454/https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/406|url-status=live}}</ref>
