Item details
Eynhallow lies between West Mainland and Rousay and is about 75 hectares in area and about 40m at its highest. Eynhallow gets its name from the old Norse "Eyin Helga" or "Holy Island". Access to the island is difficult at best, as fierce tides known locally as "Roosts", sweep around the island set within Eynhallow Sound, making landing dangerous in any but the most calm conditions. The only buildings on the island are the remains of a twelfth century monastery and two old croft houses. In 1841 the island had a population of 26, but in 1851 a disease swept through the farming folk, and when the island was subsequently abandoned, the local Laird ordered the roofs be removed, rendering the buildings uninhabitable. Now a bird sanctuary, the island is steeped in folklore and magic. Eynhallow is believed to be the home of the "Finfolk", shape-changing fairy-like sorcerers that possessed power over the sea and storms.
