Sanday

Map of Sanday

SANDAY (ON Sand-ey, Sandy Isle) About 20km (12.5 miles) long by 11km (7 miles) wide, Sanday is the largest of the North Isles. Flat except at its southwest end, the island seldom exceeds 20m above sea level, the highest point being The Wart (HY630378, 65m). The coastline is mostly low-lying with wide expanses of windblown sand and flat sandy bays, but there are low cliffs (20m) on the west side of Spur Ness, while much of the north and west coasts are rocky. The flat eastern part of the island is composed of Rousay flagstone, while the hillier western part is a ridge of Eday sandstones, with mostly rough hill land.
