High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The name derives from Old Norse so-øy meaning Sheep Island. Camas nan Gall (G: Bay of Foreigners) is probably named after the Norse invaders, after whom the Hebrides (Na h-Innse Gall) are also named. The population peaked at 158 in 1851, following eviction of crofters from Skye in the Highland Clearances.In 1946, author Gavin Maxwell bought the island and established a factory to process shark oil from basking sharks. The enterprise was unsuccessful, lasting just three years.Maxwell wrote about it in his book Harpoon at a Venture.This led to a serious drop in the numbers of these animals in the surrounding seas, from which they have yet to recover.
