Geography

Orfasay is a tidal island in Yell Sound, connected to Yell at low tide. This is reflected in the island's name.[1]

It is near the mouth of Hamna Voe and Cuppister in Yell.

The island is uninhabited but two structures on the North-West side of the island can be seen. The structures have no roofs, implying that they are ruined buildings and indicating that the island was inhabited in the past.

gollark: UART console? You mean, over USB, or what?
gollark: That reminds me, I really ought to get round to trying to get postmarketOS on that ancient tablet I have.
gollark: ... no, doing random stupid things distracts you...
gollark: Great "poll", that.
