Pabbay, Barra, Scotland: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Pabbay (Scottish Gaelic: Pabaigh) is one of the Barra Isles in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It never had a large population, and after all the island's fishermen were killed in a disaster in 1897, it was abandoned in the early twentieth century.

The island was the site of a Celtic hermitage, and a Pictish carved stone dates from that period. Remains of an Iron Age settlement can also been seen on Pabbay.
