One of the Out Skerries' claim to fame is wildlife, with frequent sightings of rare birds. There is little peat on the Out Skerries, so the residents have been granted rights to cut it on Whalsay. [5] The soil in the islands is thin and infertile, but is heaped into riggs, for better cultivation of potatoes, carrots and swedes. The main industry on the islands is fishing. Sheep farming still occurs, but is far less important than it once was. Tourism on the other hand has increased. [12] The islands have a (mothballed) primary school. The primary school in 2015 had just one pupil. [20] The previously open secondary school was the smallest in the UK; in 2010 the school had only three students. This secondary school was closed in 2014 by the approval of the Scottish government. [21] In 2016 the school only had one student. The story went viral and he received 10, 000 Christmas cards that year from all around the world. The old schoolhouse found reuse as the second-smallest cinema in the UK (the smallest in Scotland), called Schoolhouse Cinema, which opened in 2017 and offers free admissions and free snacks.

These include the Hevda Skerries and Wether Holm to the north, the Holm to the south and Lamba Stack and Flat Lamba Stack to the east. Stoura Stack and the Hogg are to the south of Grunay. Bound Skerry, which has a lighthouse, is flanked by Little Bound Skerry and Horn Skerry. Beyond Mio Ness at the south west tip of Housay are North and South Benelip and the Easter Skerries, as well as Filla, Short & Long Guen (the Guens), Bilia Skerry, and Swaba Stack. In an isolated group between the main Out Skerries and the Mainland, are Little Skerry and the Vongs, and Muckle Skerry is another outlier lying further north. Etymology [ edit] Most of the Skerries placenames have a Norse origin. The "Out" name derives from one or both of two Old Norse words. Austr means "east" and may have been used to distinguish Out Skerries from Ve Skerries or "west skerries", and utsker means "outer". [4] " Skerry " is from the Old Norse sker and refers to a small rocky island or a rocky reef. Housay is from the Old Norse Húsey meaning "horse island" [5] although this name is now little used by locals, who prefer "West Isle".
