Annet er den syvende største øya i Scillyøyene utenfor kysten av Land's End i Cornwall, Storbritannia, og den nest største av de i alt 50 ubebodde øyene i øygruppen.

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Annet og de øvrige Scillyøyene fikk i 1975 status som Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.^[1]

Annet har et svært rikt fugleliv; øya er spesielt kjent for sin bestand av hekkende lundefugl.^[1] I klippene på øya er det mange huler som er laget av alkefugler, som hekker her hvert år. Det er ikke tillatt å gå i land på øya, men besøkende kan være med på sjøturer rundt reservatet for å se på fuglelivet.^[2]

Skipsforlis i 1743

Den 13. juni 1743 forliste skipet «Hollandia» ved Annet, og alle de 276 menneskene ombord mistet livet.^[3]

She was sailing too close to shore, possibly due to foggy weather and poor visibility, and instead of sailing south towards the English Channel, she sailed north, putting her on a collision course with the Isles of Scilly. With the bottom of the ship stuck on Gunner Rock, the crew attempted to alert those on shore to the emergency through a salute of cannon fire, but the Hollandia was too far out to sea for a rescue operation, and all those on board perished.»
