Description
In 1841, there were 133 inhabited islands in Scotland. By 2001, 44 had become uninhabited. A further 82 had fewer people than in 1841. Just seven isles had more people. The most sever depopulation occured in Pabbay which was home to 338 souls in 1841 and saw its last residents depart by the 1970s. The second column is the name of the modern shire to which each isle has been assigned. Tourist accommodation and local development is retaining some population, but at least four more isles have become empty of permanet residents since 2001 (marked by asterisk*)
