Panhope, a bay on the E side of Flotta island, Orkney. Looking towards Burray island, it enters from the SE of Scapa Flow; penetrates 1½ mile west-south-westward, with a mean breadth of from 7 to 2 furlongs; forms an excellent natural harbour or 'hope;' and took the prefix of its name from a salt-pan formerly worked on its shores.
