Skarð (pronounced [ˈskɛaɹ]) is an abandoned village on the east coast of the Island of Kunoy in the Norðoyar Region of the Faroes.
On December 23, 1913, all seven able-bodied men of the village perished while out fishing in the village boat.[1] In the following years, the women and children left the town for Haraldssund. The last one left in 1919. One of the old boats from Skarð now hangs in the Christianskirkjan in Klaksvík.
