Isle Of Scalpay
Scalpay is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Scalpay is around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and rises to an elevation of 104 metres (341 feet) at Beinn Scorabhaig. The location of Scalpay is 653 hectares (2.52 sq mi). The primary settlement on the island is at the north, near the bridge, gathered around An Acairseid a Tuath (North Harbour). The island is peppered with little lochans. The largest of these is Loch an Duin (Loch of the Fort) which has a small island in it, with the remains of the ft still visible. Eilean Glas, a tiny peninsula on Scalpay's eastern shore, is house to the first lighthouse to be integrated in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's nearest neighbour, Harris, is just 300 metres (980 feet) away throughout the tightens of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was built, changing a ferry service. In 2001, the island had 322 individuals, whose main employment was fish farming and prawn fishing. By 2011 the population had actually decreased by 9% to 291 whilst throughout the exact same period Scottish island populations in its entirety expanded by 4% to 103,702.
