Supposedly it was declared safe over a decade ago, and I'm wondering what loops I'll have to jump through to visit it
>uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland
>used by Brits to test anthrax bombs in WW2 and the possibility of using them on Germany
>some terror group called Operations Dark Harvest dumped contaminated dirt in front of government offices, claiming they were concerned scientists
>island finally decontaminated and the locals feel fine about it
I haven't been able to find any tours there, and I'm unsure if it's legal to visit at all

I believe it is privately owned. You can stand on the mainland and see it, which is probably as good as going to it, as the only thing to see there now is a lack of anthrax.

If it's privately owned land in Scotland, there's automatically public access unless it's posted as no trespassing.
It's probably a beautiful place.

If it would be possible to find out who owns it I could contact them and ask. Although I'm guessing it's government property

No, govt returned it to the original owners after decontamination. No idea who they are.
Maybe rent a kayak and hope nobody cares if you go out there...?
Or, contact govt. of nearest town, ask them if anybody could run an excursion or if they could help you contact the owners.
