Isle of Scalpay, shown left (click image to view an enlargement), lies just off the coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides / Western Isles. Scalpay's Gaelic name is Scalpaigh and has also been known as Scalpa. Access to the island was, until recently, via a ferry running from Kyles Scalpay. A bridge, which was officially opened by PM Mr. Tony Blair, now links the Isle of Scalpay to the Isle of Harris.

The Isle of Scalpay has a rich and colourful history including some memorable characters such as Bonnie Prince Charlie and Black Kenneth and the rest of the Campbell family. We have gathered much information and photographs about the Isle of Scalpay and the Scalpay Section has grown to an enormous size.

It is hoped that the Scalpay Section will continue to grow but this is only possible with the support of our visitors, if you have an article on the Isle of Scalpay or a Scalpay photograph that you would like to submit for publishing on the Scalpay site please contact us with the details.
