Grimsay
Grimsay is a tidal island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Grimsay is the largest of the low-lying stepping-stones which convey the Oitir Mhòr (North Ford) causeway, a five mile arc of single track road linking North Uist and Benbecula via the western tip of Grimsay. Until it opened in 1960, a ferry linked Carinish (on North Uist) with Gramsdale (on Benbecula), but could only operate at high tide. There was also a ford which could only be crossed close to low water, usually only with a guide.
Flodaigh
Flodaigh is a tidal island lying to the north of Benbecula and south of Grimsay in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It is connected to Benbecula by a causeway. The island is 145 hectares and in 2001 had a population of 11. The 2001 Census refers to the island by its anglicized name of 'Flodda'.
Fraoch-Eilean
Fraoch-eilean is a small island north of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is about 55 hectares in extent and the highest point is 11 metres .
