Mill Bay, a bay on the E side of Stronsay island, Orkney. Opening from the ENE, between Grice Ness and Odin Ness, it measures 1¾ mile across the entrance; penetrates the land 17/8 mile west-south-westward; is separated by an isthmus ½ mile broad from St Catherine's Bay on the W side of the island; makes a demi-semicircular sweep around its head; is belted with sandy beaches and benty links; and presents a beautiful appearance.
