Egilsay shown within Orkney Islands

Egilsay is one of the Orkney Islands in Scotland, lying east of Rousay. The island is largely farmland and is known for its corncrakes.


Egilsay was the place where Saint Magnus was killed in 1117. A ruined church on the island was probably built as a shrine to him and is the only surviving round-towered church in Orkney.


Ferries sail from the island to Tingwall on the Orkney Mainland, via Wyre or Rousay.
