Fuaigh Beag

Fuaigh Beag or Vuia Be(a)g is an island in the Outer Hebrides. It is off the west coast of Lewis near Great Bernera in Loch Roag. Its name means "little Fuaigh", and is named in contrast to Fuaigh Mòr nearby.

History

The element "Fuaigh", derives from an Old Norse name.

Fuaigh Beag was cleared in 1827, and it has been uninhabited ever since.[1]

Geography and geology

The island is 35 hectares (86 acres) in extent[2] and the rock is Lewisian gneiss.[1]

There are many skerries and small islands near it such as Geile Sgeir, Garbh Eilean, Eilean nam Feannag, Linngeam, Cliatasay, Gousam and yet another Floday.
