Scilly (Islas)

"Las islas Sorlingas (en inglés, Isles of Scilly; en córnico, Ynysek Syllan) son un archipiélago con consideración de autoridad unitaria de Inglaterra (Reino Unido), ubicado al oeste de la costa del condado de Cornualles. La población local llama a las islas Scillonia. Su superficie total es de 16,33 km² rodeadas por el mar Céltico (Mor Keltek en córnico). Tradicionalmente estas islas, junto con la bretona isla de Ouessant (en el departamento francés de Finisterre), señalan el confín occidental del canal de la Mancha cuando se abre al océano Atlántico."

"The Isles of Scilly (/sli/; Cornish: Syllan or Enesek Syllan) are an archipelago off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula of Great Britain. It is the southernmost location in England and the United Kingdom, as well as the most westerly in England. The population of all the islands at the 2011 census was 2,203. Scilly forms part of the ceremonial county of Cornwall, and some services are combined with those of Cornwall. However, since 1890, the islands have had a separate local authority. Since the passing of the Isles of Scilly Order 1930, this authority has had the status of a county council and today is known as the Council of the Isles of Scilly. The adjective "Scillonian" is sometimes used for people or things related to the archipelago. The Duchy of Cornwall owns most of the freehold land on the islands. Tourism is a major part of the local economy, along with agriculture particularly the growing of cut flowers."
