Soay is an island just off the south coast of Skye, occasionally considered part of the Small Isles. Its highest point is Beinn Bhreac. The main settlement is Mol-chlach.
There is also an island named Soay in the Saint Kilda group, with an indigenous breed of sheep: Soay Sheep.
Soays of America, Inc. is a nonprofit organization designed to conserve and protect the rare Soay sheep found in North America.
The Soay sheep on the North American continent descend from the primitive Soay sheep originally found on the island of Soay, in the archipelago of St Kilda, 110 miles off the coast of Scotland.
A second importation of Soay sheep occurred in 1990. These Soay sheep, first brought into Canada and later into the United States, are also eligible for registration with SOA. American and British Soay share equal value and status in Soays of America, Inc., recognizing the distinctive qualities of each.
