Rockall: I thought it had been made part of Inverness-shire, instead.

>11. Saint Helena (Jamestown)
>12. Saint Helena Dependencies (Ascension Island,
>Tristan da Cunha)

There are officially a single territory, although the three main islands
are separated by hundreds of miles of ocean.

>-Rockall

Rockall is not a territory, but officially a part of the Western Isles
district of Scotland (and therefore the UK).

>-Graham Bank (also known as Ferdinandea)

I'm not sure that's taken seriously by anyone these days.

>-Troodos Station Communications site, Cyprus

There are still 13 retained sites in Cyprus (in addition to the two SBAs),
but they are not sovereign territory. It would be more appropriate to
consider them as being held on a unlimited leasehold.
