Longaigh
Die Lage der Insel Longay

Longay (schottisch-gälisch: Longaigh), ist eine kleine, unbewohnte Insel der Inneren Hebriden. Sie liegt zwischen dem Festland und der Insel Scalpay. Zusammen mit ihrer Nachbarinsel Pabay war Longay im 16. Jahrhundert ein Schlupfwinkel für Piraten. [1]

Der Name Longay kommt von dem altnordischen Wort: Long-øy und bedeutet „Schiffsinsel“. [2]
