Scalpay, Outer Hebrides
Scalpay (Scottish Gaelic: Scalpaigh ) is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland west of Harris. It is linked to Harris by a 300m bridge which opened in 1997, replacing the ferry service. The island has a population of about 400 people, whose main industries are fish farming and prawn fishing.
Scalpay is also home to Scotland's oldest lighthouse, built in 1788.
