Eilean Ornsay is a rocky and uninhabited island located off the south-western coast of the Inner Hebridean island of Coll. It is situated on the western side of Loch Eatharna and is joined to Coll at low tide.[2] Evidence of the dun and other archaeological finds were recently discovered by a field walk on the east side of Coll.[3]
