Flodday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are many small islands in Scotland called Flodday (Scots Gaelic: Flodaigh) or similar and this list provides a guide to their location. The derivation of the name is from the Old Norse floti meaning "raft" or "float".[1] The similar island names Fladda and Flotta are also from the Norse flatr and mean "flat island".[2] Usage is not always consistent in external sources.
