	Rousay Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Rousay measures roughly five miles by five and much of the interior is hilly moorland, with farming confined to the coastal margin.
		And it was the construction of a viewing platform on a nearby hillock which led to the discovery of the Taversoe Tuick Cairn.
		Many of Rousay's other attractions are associated with the ancient legacy that Walter Grant helped uncover, and most are found close to the encircling road as it runs along the south side of the island.

	Island Explorations - Rousay, Egilsay, Wyre
		Rousay's richest habitats are its moors (with birds such as Red-throated Divers, Hen Harriers and Merlins) and its maritime heaths which are home to colonies of Arctic Terns and Arctic Skuas while, in addition, the western cliffs hold considerable colonies of Guillemots, Kittiwakes and Fulmars.
		On Rousay, along the west road from the pier, four well-preserved burial cairns can be visited - Taversoe Tuick, a most unusual two-storied cairn; Blackhammer and Yarso, both stalled cairns and by the cliffs at Scabra Head is Midhowe, the largest known stalled cairn which is protected by its own special building.
		Rousay’s most spectacular relic, the Westness Brooch was found in 1963 in the grave of a Viking woman at Westness.

	Rousay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rousay is a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' with notable cliff formations and wildflower colonies, and has an RSPB bird reserve.
		The island has evidence from every stage in the history of Orkney, with a Neolithic settlement at Rinyo, Bronze Age burnt mounds, Iron Age crannogs and brochs (the highest density anywhere in Scotland: 3 within 500 metres of coastline), Viking boat burials, remains of a medieval church and the stately home at Trumland.
		Throughout the century Rousay's landlords demanded high rents from crofters, most of whom were made homeless in a series of clearances ordered by landowner George William Traill and his nephew General Sir Frederick William Traill-Burroughs.

		Rousay is a beautiful island surrounded by many other islands: Eynhallow and Mainland to the south, Westray to the north, Egilsay and Stronsay to the east.Its westerly coast is unsheltered: this is reflected in the rich seam of archaeological sites – Pictish and Viking graves and homesteads – along the west shore of the island.
		Rousay is almost like a microcosm of Orkney: the rolling hills, the flatter areas, the shelter and the wind-blighted coasts.
		Scara Taing, a rocky area of the north-west coat of Rousay, is a bird-infested steep reach: this is reflected in the etymology of the name: Scara is from ON skarfr, a cormorant.

	The Orcadian Bookshop - The Little General and The Rousay Crofters
		The Little General and the Rousay Crofters is the story of the remarkable events that occurred on the Orkney island of Rousay between 1840 and 1890.
		William Thomson's study of these events vividly portrays this explosive situation and reveals Burroughs - who at one time enjoyed a reputation as a minor national hero for his role in the suppression of the Indian Mutiny - to be a vastly more complex and human figure than history has previously depicted him.
		The Little General and the Rousay Crofters represents both an extraordinary and dramatic story while encapsulating almost every major issue in the tide of economic and social change that came to be known as "The Clearances"
