Wiay cliffs

Wiay (Gaelic: Bhuia or Fuidheigh) is an uninhabited island in Loch Bracadale in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.

Wiay lies west of the Isle of Skye, 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) off the Skye coast, near the village of Ullinish. It is the largest island in Loch Bracadale, with an area of 148 hectares (0.57 sq mi). Most of the coastline consists of vertical cliffs and the southern bluff is a striking overhanging cliff.[4]

The island has been uninhabited since the late 19th century.

Wildlife [edit]
