The Atlantic Archipelago

A less common name for a certain archipelago containing over 6000 islands off the north-western coast of continental Europe. Home to over 70 million people, in two sovereign states and a Crown Depency - how much do you know about this archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean?
Does not include the Channel Islands as they do not form part of the archipelago. Likewise for Rockall.
For extremes the lat/long coordinates are provided in the answer, in case you want to go and see their locations on a map!
