LingaA small, narrow, uninhabited island in Shetland, Linga is situated at the southern end of the Bluemull Sound which separates Yell from Unst. It has an area of 45 ha (111 acres) and has a long low ridge which rises to 26m (85 feet) near its southern end. The island is separated from Yell by Linga Sound. A ruined chapel bears evidence of former settlement, but today the island's only inhabitants are sheep.
