The island's main attraction is a church dating from the twelfth century or earlier, and perhaps originally part of a monastery. It is also a bird sanctuary.
It has its own folklore, concerning the initial finding of the island.
Eynhallow was in all probability the site of one of the earliest monastic settlements in Orkney and may only have been preceded by Christ Church on the Brough of Birsay.
Eynhallow is an island rich in tradition and history and in the past was known as an enchanted isle.
