Calf of Eday

The Calf of Eday (〔) is an uninhabited island in Orkney, Scotland, lying north east of Eday. It is known for its wildlife and its prehistoric ruins.
==History==
There is a Neolithic chambered cairn in the southwest overlooking Calf Sound, which separates the island from Eday. Rectangular in shape, the cairn was excavated in 1936–37 and contains a small chamber with two compartments and a larger one with four stalls that has a separate entrance and was probably added at a later date.〔Noble (2006) pp. 116–17〕 Two similar structures have been identified nearby along with various other ancient ruins.〔
From the 17th to the 19th centuries, the Calf of Eday was home to a salt works,〔Stewart, Walter (mid-1640s) "New Choreographic Description of the Orkneys" in Irvine (2006) p. 24〕 the remains of which can still be seen to the north of cairns.〔
The pirate John Gow and his men successfully raided the Hall of Clestrain on 10 February 1725, but when they attempted to attack Carrick House on Eday, they ran aground on the Calf of Eday, where they were captured.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Overview of John Gow )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Gow - The Orkney Pirate )
