Soyea Island

Soyea Island[2][3] or Soyea is an uninhabited rocky island at the mouth of Loch Inver, in Assynt, Sutherland, in the council area of Highland, Scotland.

[1] The Broad Rocks extend up to 400 yards (370 metres) from the eastern edge of Soyea Island.

[1] Soyea marks the entrance of the fishing harbour of Lochinver.

[8][9] The name "Soyea" is Old Norse[7] and means "Sheep-isle"[10] or "Sea island".

[12] In the 1920s, Soyea had a colony of Abraxas grossulariata (magpie moths) which were rare on the mainland.
