Raasay
one of the Inner Hebrides, lies between the isle of Skye and the mainland of Scotland, and belongs to Inverness-shire. It is 13 miles in length from N. to S., 3½ miles in greatest breadth, and 24 square miles in area.
The W. side of the island is bare and uninteresting. On the E. and more sheltered side there is some striking scenery. Dun Caan (1,456 feet) is the highest point, and Brochel Castle, on the E. shore now a mere ruin-the chief object of interest.
