Isle Of Scalpay
Scalpay is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Scalpay is around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and also rises to an elevation of 104 metres (341 feet) at Beinn Scorabhaig. The area of Scalpay is 653 hectares (2.52 sq mi). The major negotiation on the island is at the north, near the bridge, clustered around An Acairseid a Tuath (North Harbour). The island is peppered with tiny lochans. The largest of these is Loch an Duin (Loch of the Fort) which has a little island in it, with the remains of the ft still noticeable. Eilean Glas, a small peninsula on Scalpay's eastern shore, is house to the first lighthouse to be integrated in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's local neighbour, Harris, is simply 300 metres (980 feet) away across the narrows of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was developed, replacing a ferryboat solution. In 2001, the island had 322 people, whose major work was fish farming as well as prawn angling. By 2011 the population had actually decreased by 9% to 291 whilst throughout the exact same period Scottish island populations all at once grew by 4% to 103,702.
