British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights, which shapes how visitors and stock reach the Isle of Man. English is the main language spoken across the island, with Welsh on Anglesey and Scottish Gaelic on some Hebridean islands.
British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters breed on British island cliffs and offshore islets.
