*************

The Isles of Scilly (Cornish: Ynysek Syllan) form an archipelago off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula of the British Isles. Traditionally administered as part of the county of Cornwall, the islands have had a unitary authority council since 1889. They are also designated the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The correct name for the islands is the Isles of Scilly, or simply Scilly; the people of Scilly consider the terms "Scillies" and "Scilly Isles" to be incorrect. The adjective "Scillonian" is sometimes used for people or things related to the archipelago.

The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago of five inhabited islands and numerous other small rocky islets (around 140 in total) lying 45 km (28 miles) off Land's End. They are all composed of granite rock of late Carboniferous age. The table provides an overview of the most important islands:
