Eynhallow is a small, uninhabited island located between Orkney Mainland and the island of Rousay, off the north coast ofAnd an annual trip that takes place in July each year is the only way people can see it. The island was inhabited until 1851, when the four families who lived there fled after a disease epidemic broke out.Along with preservation of its natural beauty and the wildlife that live there, and the fact the island is too small to be worth inhabiting, this is why the island remains unpopulated today.One of the stories told about the island is that it's not always visible to human eyes and could disappear suddenly if not kept within sight.
The church was originally used as a dwelling, but its true purpose was only revealed after the thatched roof was lost. The porch walls, nave gables, and lower section of the chancel walls show traces of the original Norse kirk.- home to the famous Old Man of Hoy sea stack, which is one of the tallest sea stacks in the UK. You can reach Hoy by ferry from Stromness to Moaness, or by car from Houton to Lyness.- a small island with a vibrant artsy community, a heritage/craft center, and an annual festival.
