The British Isles often refers to places that are not part of the UK, mainly the Republic of Ireland. So not all of the British Isles are in the UK.
The UK is found on the British Isles which are considered an archipelago.
The United Kingdom has the largest population of the two British Isles nations. (UK & Ireland)

The Republic of Ireland.
Ireland is in the British Isles, but is not a part of the United Kingdom.
The term 'British Isles' is controversial and is offensive to some people. Ireland and the Isle of Man are in that group of islands and are not part of the UK.
I can't find Connamona in my UK gazetteer. However, it sounds like an Irish place name and if it is, it would be within the geographical area of the British Isles.
You mean what ARE the British Isles. Well The British are the islands that make up Britain; so like Ireland the mainland and some other small Islands.
The British isles... And the UK...I hope you got what you wanted! :-)
The UK is not called the British Isles. They are two different things. The British Isles consists of the island of Britain, the island of Ireland and the many small islands around those two large islands. The British Isles is a geographical term. The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. All of the United Kingdom is in the British Isles, but there are many parts of the British Isles, such as the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man, that are not part of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is a political entity.
The United Kingdom is placed on the western edge of the European Continent, although many people from the UK differenciate Europe as a separate entity due to the British Isles being separated from mainland Europe.Part of the confusion also stems from the fact that the British Isles are made up of The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom ( as a sovereign state), The UK in itself contains 2 countries (England and Scotland), 1 Principality (Wales) and 1 Province (Northern Ireland) - all of which can often cause confusion as to the UK's status both as a sovereign state and as to its continental status/position.Although not every country or 'constituent country' within the British Isles is officially sovereign, the British Isles consist of more 'nations' as such than North America, some people argue that if all of the 'nations' within the British Isles were sovereign, then it could well be seen as having continental status.UK is in European Continent.
