Sands of Evie, looking towards Eynhallow

Across the beautiful clear waters towards Eynhallow, a small uninhabited island in Eynhallow Sound, the stretch of water between mainland Orkney and Rousay. There is, of course, a local folktale about the creation of the island. We saw no meremaids or monsters whilst we were there. http://www.orkneyjar.com/folklore/finfolk/eynfree.htm
