It is the main settlement on the island[1] and its only port; thus tourists arriving by ferry must pass through it on the way to any part of the isle. It contains the island's shop[2] and post office (in the same building),[3] parish church,[4] microbrewery,[5] doctor's surgery,[6] village hall,[7] cafe and hotel/bar.[8]
