|There was an Allied test of anthrax (called Agent N) in approximately
|1942 on one of the uninhabited Scottish isles (Surtsey?).  At least
|in the 70's, it was quite hazardous to dig the soil there without
|a full protective suit.

It was on Gruinard. The army recently "disinfected" it and pronounced
the island safe. I make no comment on the validity of this assesment
