ROE-LITTLE-AND-MUCKLE, islands, in the parish of Delting, county of Shetland; one containing 11, and the other '214, inhabitants. Little Roe is situated on the northern coast of the parish, in Yell Sound; and Muckle Roe in St. Magnus' bay, on the western coast of the Mainland of Shetland. The former is of very inconsiderable size, and its inhabitants, consisting of two or tbr?e families, employ themselves in fishing. The latter is a comparatively large island, about twenty-four miles in circumference, having some spots of land brought into cultivation within the last 100 years, while the other portions are covered with a fine kind of heath, which affords good pasture to sheep and black-cattle, great numbers of both which are reared.
