The morning ferry spits you out on a windswept quay and the island opens like a map of stone and sea. Saddle an electric bike in Kilronan and the little motor does the heavy breathing for you as you roll onto limestone tracks, past low drystone walls and peat-smoke-scented cottages. The road curves toward the west cliffs and, soon, Dún Aonghasa stakes its claim: a prehistoric fort perched on a near-vertical drop where Atlantic wind-driven waves hurl themselves against the rocks below.
