Eynhallow Sound

Eynhallow Sound is a seaway lying between Mainland Orkney and the island of Rousay in the Orkney Islands,¹ Scotland. The tidal indraught is "scarcely felt beyond a line joining Costa Head and the Reef of Quendale".² An Iron Age broch, Gurness, has a strategic outlook over the Eynhallow Sound.³
