'Ronay' (
Scottish Gaelic: ''Rònaigh'') is an
island in the
Outer Hebrides of
Scotland, which lies a short distance off the east coast of
Grimsay.
In 1826, there were 180 living on the island, but in
1831, the whole population was cleared to make way for sheep farming. See
Highland Clearances.
The island has been uninhabited since the 1920s.
