Vallay (Scottish Gaelic:Bhàlaigh) is an uninhabited tidal island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. It is linked to North Uist by a long beach at low tide.
Once the island supported a population of nearly sixty people, its best-known inhabitant was the archaeologist Erskine Beveridge. The island is also known for its sea birds and for prehistoric monuments.
