Sgarabhaigh

Sgarabhaigh (formerly anglicised "Scaravay") is a small uninhabited island in the eastern end of the Sound of Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

It is approximately 40 acres in size and is home to many sea birds, sea otters and grey seals. The island along with its sister islands of Grodhaigh and Bhatam, Lingeigh and Gilsaigh are colloquially, not geographically, know as the Pabach Islands as they used to be used to provide peat for the islanders on Pabbay when their own supplies ran out back in the 19th Century.

The island is now interestingly the focus for a sustainability project intended to protect the environment of the island for all time, help local economic and social regeneration in the wider islands and provide people with a perpetual link to Scotland. Whilst being open to all the project wants to make linkage with the descendants of the islanders that were displaced under the dreadful 'Clearances' of the 18th and 19th Centuries.
