Isay
Island of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isay (Scottish Gaelic: Ìosaigh) is an uninhabited island in the Inner Hebrides of the west coast of Scotland. It lies in Loch Dunvegan, 1 kilometre (1,100 yd) off the northwest coast of the Isle of Skye. Two smaller isles of Mingay and Clett lie nearby. The name originated from the Old Norse ise-øy meaning porpoise island. The island of Lampay is due south. The area of Isay is 60 hectares (150 acres).[1]
