Hermetray
Hermetray ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Theàrnatraigh)) is an uninhabited island off North Uist, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
==Geography and geology==
Hermetray lies in the Sound of Harris on the edge of the Minch. It is on the south side of the sound although it is in the parish of Harris.〔("North Uist, Hermetray" ). Scotland's Places. Retrieved 4 November 2013.〕 The island is in area, and at its highest point, ''Cnoc a' Chombaiste'' (compass hill). The bedrock of the island is Lewisian gneiss.〔
The hillock of ''Cnoc a' Chombaiste'' is found to the northeast. The other main geomorphological features are ''Acarseid Mór'' (big harbour) to the west a "shallow and weedy inlet with a rocky shore" and Loch Hermetray at the island's centre.〔〔 There are numerous surrounding islets. The largest is Vaccasay or ''Bhacasaigh'' (island with a bay) which extends to and lies to the west. Along with Fuam to the south and Hulmatraigh to the north this island encloses the sheltered Basin of Vaccasay. Fuam's full name in Gaelic is ''Fuam an Aon Fhoid'', meaning "far out isle of the one peat" a reference to its shallow soils. Greineam and the skerries of Staffin and Creag na Stead lie to the north in the Grey Horse Channel and Grodaigh and the once fortified Dun Mhic Leathann to the south, beyond the ''Seòlaid na h-Eala'' and close to North Uist.〔 This strait is named after the ''Eala Bhàn'' (white swan), a famous 17th century ''birlinn''.〔 ''Seòlaid'' means a sailing channel, "fairway in the sea" or anchorage.
Further northwest is the Cabbage Patch, a complex group of reefs and skerries including the islets of Opasaigh, Sàrstaigh and Nàrstaigh.〔
