North Ronaldsay

North Ronaldsay Map

NORTH RONALDSAY (ON Rinansey, Ringan's Isle or Ninian’s Isle) is Orkney's most northerly island, and with its larger neighbour, Sanday, is distinctly different. It is low-lying, reaching only 23m at Holland, its highest point and is about 5km (3 miles) long by 3km (2 miles) wide. The rocks are Rousay flags, which form the flattish beaches and the several dangerous skerries offshore, while considerable accumulations of windblown sand have built up in many places.
