Longa, an islet off the E side of Skye, Inverness-shire, 1 mile NE of Scalpa, 2½ miles NNW of Pabbay, and 6 WNW of Kyle-Akin. Measuring 1½ mile in circumference, and mainly consisting of red sandstone, it forms an uneven table-land, everywhere abrupt on the coast, and rising to a height of 200 feet above sea-level; and is merely a pasture for sheep and a haunt of sea-fowl.
