Copinsay

Copinsay is an uninhabited island located in the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland in Great Britain. The island is a part of the Orkney Islands Council area and is the most northerly of the group of islands. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) long and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide, and is separated from the nearby island of South Ronaldsay by a narrow stretch of water known as the Copinsay Sound.

The island is known for its abundance of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and otters. The rocky shoreline is also home to a variety of fish, including cod, herring, and mackerel. The island is also popular for its scenic views, which include a variety of cliffs, caves, and sea stacks.

Copinsay has a long history, and archaeological evidence suggests it was settled as early as the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, the island was home to a small community of fishermen, and in the 17th century, a small chapel was built on the island. The chapel was destroyed in the 18th century, and the island has been uninhabited ever since.

Today, Copinsay is owned by the Orkney Islands Council, and is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The island is also home to a lighthouse, which was built in 1858 and is still in use today. There is a small harbour on the island, and boat trips to the island are available from the nearby town of Stromness.
