Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Scottish island Hascosay (Шаблон:Lang-sco; Old Norse "Hafskotsey"[1]) is a small island lying between Yell and Fetlar in the Shetland Islands, Scotland.

Geography and geology

The island's rock is coarse micaceous gneiss.[2] It has several pools, but the fresh water in them is frequently contaminated by salt spray. Its area is just over Шаблон:Convert.

History

The population of the island was 42 in 1841, but had shrunk to thirteen within a decade. In 1871, the population numbered 4, and in 1881, the island was uninhabited.[3] The laird, Arthur Nicolson, who had bought it had "cleared" parts of Fetlar, and it is possible that the islanders removed themselves in anticipation of a possible future forcible eviction by this landowner.[2]

The island is designated as a Special Area of Conservation on account of its largely undisturbed blanket bog habitat. It is also home to a population of otters.
