Eilean Trodday is an island in The Minch just off the north coast of the Trotternish peninsula of Skye in Scotland.[2][3]
Eilean Trodday is about 38 hectares (94 acres) in extent and the coastline has various caves and stacks. The island was inhabited in the past and there are the ruins of a small chapel, which may have been dedicated to St. Columba.[4][5]
