Causeway, Orosay.
About ¾ mile west of the township of South Boisdale is the island of Orosay, lying about 350 yards from the shore, a smaller tidal islet intervening. This islet, about 50 yards in length and 20 yards in breadth at its widest part, seems to have been surrounded by a slight wall built round its margin. A massive causeway, 120 yards long and from 9 to 12 feet in breadth, formed of large blocks of stone, connects it with the mainland.
