Hoy (from Norse Háey meaning high island) is an island in Orkney, Scotland. With an area of 55 square miles (142 km2) it is the second largest in the archipelago after the Mainland. It is connected by a causeway called The Ayre to South Walls. Unusually, the two islands are treated as one entity by the UK census.
