Switha

Encyclopedia : S : SW : SWI : Switha


Switha is a small island in Orkney, Scotland, south of Flotta, used for grazing sheep. There is no written record of the island ever being inhabited, but Neolithic standing stones and a cairn show that was at least visited in prehistoric times.

Switha has many Storm-petrel burrows and is the winter home to a large colony of barnacle geese.
