Aerial view of Copinsay from the north

COPINSAY (ON Kolbeinsey, Kolbein's island) is a small wedge-shaped island off the east side of Deerness with a mile-long 70m-high cliff on its east side which is a major breeding ground for sea birds. Copinsay and its holms now form an RSPB Reserve. The east-facing cliff is dark and brooding, but with deep water close-to can be visited by boat.
