		It was on gairsay that he built himself a house, the drinking hall of which was so long that it could contain eighty retainers.
		After Hoy it is the hilliest of all the islands, and its dark upland moors are seen over the green fields of Gairsay and Weir, as the voyager enters Kirkwall Bay.

	142-143, A new chorographic description of the Orkneys - Blaeu Atlas of Scotland, 1654 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After Viera, three miles to the north east (13), lies the island of Gairsay, with holms, but one larger (called in the vernacular ‘the Hen of Gairsay’), rising into a very high pyramidal mountain, and abundant in the same commodities as Rousay.
		From Gairsay three miles to the north is Eglisa (in the vernacular Egilsay), about two miles long and a mile wide, fruitful, but lacking peat; what it uses is brought from Rousay by boat, over a sea very rough because of the tide.
		Here there is a church with a very high tower rising to a point, where there is a story that St Magnus, tutelary saint of the Orkneys, is buried; and a house not far from the church, very charming.
