Eilean Glas, Scalpay
Eilean Glas is a peninsula of Scalpay in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Eilean Glas is home to a historic lighthouse. Eilean Glas means Grey/Green Island in Gaelic.
Geography
Eilean Glas lies on the west coast of Scalpay at NG247948. The island is 300 metres (1,000 feet) long and rises no more than 30 metres (100 feet) above sea level.
The island projects out considerably into The Minch shipping lane, which is likely why it was decided to place the Eilean Glas Lighthouse here. A track across the narrow isthmus connects Eilean Glas to Scalpay. More recently, a radio mast was erected on Eilean Glas.
