Mingulay

Mingulay (Scottish Gaelic: Miughalaigh) is the largest of the Bishop's Isles in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It has been uninhabited since 1934 and is known for its large seabird population, including puffins, guillemots, kittiwakes, shags, fulmar and razorbills.

The island also has a large number of sea stacks and a large natural arch. It is currently used for grazing sheep. Only two buildings survive on the island: the schoolhouse and the priest's house.

Also associated with the island is the Mingulay Boat Song, although it was composed in 1938, after the abandonment of Mingulay.
