Talk:List of Orkney islands

Small Islands
The main list has been defined as including only islands greater than 10 hectares. This excludes Calf of Flotta, which currently has no article page. For the record it is 8.5 ha in extent and has a height of 16 m. Ben MacDui (Talk) 18:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Can South Walls be an island since it is never surrounded by water? Abtract 18:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

For the record: see previous and ensuing discussions at Talk:List of islands of Scotland and Talk:South Walls. "Our understanding is that until about the beginning of the 20th century South Walls was a tidal island but is now connected to Hoy by a causeway". Ben MacDui (Talk) 14:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * So it is not an island? Abtract (talk) 15:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It is an island according to the definition used in this article and elsewhere. Great Britain is connected to France by a tunnel and Awaji Island to mainland Japan by a bridge. They are still generally considered to be islands as are North Uist and Singapore, which have causeways. Ben   Mac  Dui  16:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
