Lampay, Tidal island in Loch Dunvegan, Scotland
Two elevated land masses connected by a narrow isthmus form this uninhabited island in the northwest coastal waters of the Isle of Skye.
The island demonstrates the geological processes that shaped the Scottish coastline through millennia of tidal actions and natural formations.
Local Gaelic traditions influence the naming and understanding of geographical features around Lampay, reflecting Highland Scotland maritime heritage.
Visitors need to check tide schedules before planning trips to Lampay, as access depends on water levels in the An Doirneil sound.
During low tide, the island doubles in size, revealing a natural walkway between its two distinct elevated sections.
