Fraoch-Eilean
Fraoch-eilean is a small island north of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is about in extent and the highest point is . Its name derives from the Gaelic for "heather island".
It is connected to Grimsay by a causeway and there is a settlement called Seana Bhaile ((スコットランド・ゲール語:old village)). North Uist is to the north and the North Ford causeway to the west. The small islets of Eilean Roinoch and Màs Grimsay lie just offshore to the east. 19th and early 20th century Ordnance Survey maps show the island name as Seanabaily.〔("Historical maps" ). Vision of Britain. Retrieved 18 Apr 2011.〕
==Population==
The island was not listed in either the 2001 census as being inhabited, or in the 2011 census although it is clear from both maps〔 and photographic evidence〔Fergusson, Dave (24 May 2007) ("Houses on Seana Bhaile" ) Geograph. Retrieved 21 August 2009.〕〔Wilding, Stuart (20 June 2008) ("Gearraidh Dubh" ) Geograph. Retrieved 21 August 2009.〕 that there is a resident population. The problems of defining islands in this part of the Hebrides are considerable〔For example, Haswell-Smith (2004) treats Eileanan Iasgaich () as a single island of 50 ha, although during some high tides it becomes several tidal islets - none of which are ever connected to the "mainland" of South Uist.〕 and it is likely that the population was recorded as being part of Grimsay itself, which has a population of over 800. Thus, it has not been possible to provide either an estimate of the total or to rank the island relative to other Scottish islands.〔In 2001 the General Register Office for Scotland defined an island as "a mass of land surrounded by water, separate from the Scottish mainland" and although the inclusion of islands linked by bridges etc. is not clear from this definition in practice they list several. There are however several smaller bridged islands that are likely to be inhabited from time to time they did not provide a population statistic for - see this list.〕 Ordnance Survey maps indicate a total of about a dozen buildings〔 and a population in the range 10-35 is likely.
