North Rona
Rona ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Rònaigh), ) is a remote Scottish island in the North Atlantic. Also "Rona" in Manx means "Sea Calf" as in seal. Gaelic Rona is often referred to as North Rona in order to distinguish it from South Rona (another small island, in the Inner Hebrides). It has an area of and a maximum elevation of 〔〔〔Boyd (1986) p. 119 states that the height is 116 metres and the area 120 acres.〕 The island lies north north east of the Butt of Lewis and east of Sula Sgeir. More isolated than St Kilda, it is the most remote island in the British Isles to have ever 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. ==Etymology== The name "Rona" may come from ''hraun-øy'', Old Norse for "rough island", a combination of ''ròn'' and ''øy'', Gaelic and Old Norse for "seal" and "island" respectively, or it may have been named after Saint Ronan.〔 The English language qualifier "North" is sometimes used to distinguish the island from Rona off Skye. In Gaelic it is also known as ''Rònaigh an Daimh'' which is literally "Rona of the stag" but may be derived from ''Rònaigh an Taibh'', containing the Norse word ''tabh'', meaning "ocean" and convey the meaning "Rona of the Atlantic".〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 92〕
