Rabbit Islands, Archipelago of three islands in Tongue Bay, Scotland.
The Rabbit Islands consist of three small uninhabited landmasses connected by sand spits that become visible during low spring tides.
Local tales mention a shipwreck carrying gold intended for Charles Edward Stuart occurred on one of the islands during the 18th century.
The Scottish Gaelic name Eileanan nan Gall translates to Islands of the Strangers or Norsemen, reflecting the regional Norse influence.
The smallest island features a natural arch named Claigeann na Sgeir at its northern end, making it identifiable from surrounding waters.
Sandy soil across the islands created conditions for rabbit burrows until myxomatosis affected the population in 2016.
