North Rona

Local nameRònaigh
LocationUK

Rona is a remote, uninhabited Scottish island in the North Atlantic. Rona is often referred to as North Rona to distinguish it from South Rona. It has an area of 109 hectares and a maximum elevation of 108 metres. It is included within the historic county of Ross-shire.

The island lies 71 kilometres northwest of Cape Wrath, the same distance north-northeast of the Butt of Lewis and 18 km east of Sula Sgeir. More isolated than St Kilda, it is the most remote island in the British Isles ever to have been inhabited on a long-term basis. It is also the closest neighbour to the Faroe Islands. Because of the island's remote location and small area, it is omitted from many maps of the United Kingdom.
