Graemsay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- There are also similarly named islands of Grimsay in the Outer Hebrides and Grímsey in Iceland.
Graemsay is one of the Orkney Islands in Scotland with a population of around twenty people. Its main source of employment is crofting.
Attractions on the island include two lighthouses, Hoy High and Hoy Low, both built in 1851, remains of two early churches, and birds including oystercatchers, ringed plovers, redshank and curlew.
An Orkney Ferries service links the island with Stromness on the Orkney Mainland and Moaness on the north of Hoy.
