      The first person whose name we know who lived here on the island was St.Aidan. He was not the first human being to live here or hereabouts: Middle Stone Age Man was here from about 8000BC and New Stone Age Man from 3000BC and they left some of their unwanted rubbish behind. During the Roman Empire Britons probably had a village here. But in 635AD Aidan chose the Island for the site of his monastery. lindisfarne.org.uk/general/aidan.htm
