viii) anthrax was Gruinard island, north of Gairloch and Inverewe as you follow the coast. It is very unimpressive to look at, in my recollection!
ii) is the sea-cave Fingal's? (if so it is Staffa, near Mull). Don't know the musical connection.
iii) I am assuming has an Orkney link - I think St Magnus cathedral is in Kirkwall, can't remember the name of the island itself - or whether that is where M was martyred (is this even the same M?) or named for him.
