Abstract
Raasay, one of the major islands of the Inner Hebrides, lies between the Isle of Skye, from which it is separated by the Sound of Raasay, on the west, and the mainland district of Applecross on the east. From Rudha na Cloiche, the southernmost promontory, to Rudha nan Sgarbh in the extreme north, the island has a length of over 13 miles, while the breadth from west to east varies from 3 miles near Ósgaig to a ½ mile just south of Arnish or at An Caol. The total surface area is about 27 square miles. The island is separated from Rona on the north by Caol Rònach, studded with islets and submerged rocks, a little more than a mile wide.
