Skúvoy

Skúgvoy (/ˈskʉuːwɪ/ or Skúvoy Faroese pronunciation: [ˈskɪkvɪ], Danish: Skuø) is an island in the central Faroe Islands, located to the south of Sandoy.

It is named after the large number of great skua present on the island (who have a habit of attacking intruders).

The Black Death in the 14th century killed all the inhabitants except one woman; her cottage can still be seen.

Egg harvesting takes place in early June, though this occurs in the first week only so as to allow the guillemots to lay again.
