Llista de d'illes d'Escòcia: Escòcia té nombroses illes i l'illa major forma part de la part septentrional de l'illa de la Gran Bretanya. L'oficina del General Register Office for Scotland defineix una illa com "una massa de terra envoltada per l'aigua, separada de la part principal d'Escòcia (from the Scottish mainland)", i aquesta definició no inclou illes enllaçades per ponts, i altres enginys humans.
Escòcia té unes 790 illes fora de la costa (offshore islands), la majoria de les quals es poden situar en quatre grups: Shetland, Orkney, i les Hèbrides, subdividides en les Inner Hebrides i les Outer Hebrides.[1] També hi ha grups d'illes en el Firth de Clyde, Firth de Forth, i Solway Firth, i nombroses illetes en masses d'aigües dolces d'Escòcia incloent Loch Lomond i Loch Maree.
L'illa més gran és Lewis and Harris que fa 2.179 km², i hi ha unes 200 illes més extenses de 40 hectàrees. D'entre elles són ben conegudes, malgrat ser petites, Staffa i les Flannan Isles.[1] Unes 94 illes escoceses estan permanentment habitades, de les quals 89 són illes fora de la costa i entre els anys 2001 i 2011 la població total de les illes escoceses ha crescut un 4% fins a arribar a 103.702 habitants.[2]

Notes
[modifica]- ↑ Les superfícies, indicades amb un asterisc. provenen de mapes d'Ordnance Survey i General Register Office for Scotland statistics.
- ↑ Aquesta illa té un hotel[21] però en el cens no consta com una illa.
- ↑ Aquesta illa està a (Plantilla:Gbmapping and the evidence of both Ordnance Survey maps and photographs (e.g. "Houses on Seana Bhaile" Geograph. Retrieved 10 August 2009) indicates a resident population. There is even a name, "Seana Bhaile" for the main settlement. However, neither the census nor the main reference work (Haswell-Smith 2004) refer to the island at all. Its small population is presumably included in nearby Grimsay (which has a population of over 800) by the census.
