STROMAY, an isle, in the parish of Harris, county
of Inverness. It is one of the Hebrides, lying in the
sound of Harris, among a group of smaller isles, and a
short distance from the coast of North Uist. Stromay
is about a mile in length, of very irregular shape, and
much indented, particularly on the eastern side. The
inlet called Loch Mhiefail is formed by the projecting
shore of Uist on the west, and by Stromay on the east.
The isle is uninhabited.
