	Switha
		Switha is a small, uninhabited, low-lying grassy island at the southern end of the Orkney archipelago in northern Scotland.
		Switha has a rocky coastline with cliffs along the north, east and west shores, and is almost totally covered by maritime grassland, with smaller areas of heath and bog.
		Switha is of importance as a winter roosting site for Greenland Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis.

	Switha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Switha is a small island in Orkney, Scotland, south of Flotta, used for grazing sheep.
		There is no written record of the island ever being inhabited, but Neolithic standing stones and a cairn show that was at least visited in prehistoric times.
		Switha has many Storm-petrel burrows and is the winter home to a large colony of barnacle geese.

	Orkney Image Library \| Hamnavoe in Switha Sound
		This deceptively placid picture shows the Hamnavoe sailing up between Flotta and Longhope with Switha in the background, and was taken on the Flotta 10K sponsored walk (see picture 267).
		It's deceptively placid, as it would not be coming through the Flow for no reason other than unpleasantly rough seas on the normal route up the west side of Hoy.

	Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Edinburgh - Bravery honour for sea hero Tom (Site not responding. Last check: )
		And while the 65-year-old has been involved in countless dramatic rescues, the ill-fated call to the fisheries protection vessel Switha still stands out as the most dangerous of his career.
		A helicopter eventually rescued the crew of the Switha, which had run aground on the Hermit Rock, and the lifeboat crew lived to fight another day, keeping the waters of the Forth safe.
		Now operations manager at the RNLI Lifeboat Station at the Hawes Pier in South Queensferry, Mr Robertson, who held down a 40-year career as a salesman while volunteering up to 20 hours a week, said he was delighted to be nominated for the national award which will be presented in London in the autumn.
