South Walls is an inhabited island adjacent to Hoy in Orkney, Scotland. The name is a corruption of "Sooth Was", which means the "southern voes" - as with Kirkwall, it was assumed that it was a mispronunciation of "walls".
South Walls forms the southern side of the harbour of Longhope. It was a tidal island until a narrow causeway, was constructed over the sandbank, which was known as the Ayre, although this name has become transferred to the causeway itself. Although sometimes considered to be a peninsula, it is an island in all but name.
South Walls is a popular stopping off place for Barnacle Geese.
Geography and geology
The island, like most of the Orkney archipelago, is made up of old red sandstone with the Rousay Flagstone Group predominating.
The island is more or less oval in shape, but there is a small promontory, called Cantick Head in the south east, which is created by Kirk Hope (Church Bay). It is separated from Hoy by an arm of the sea, also called Longhope. The area to the south of the causeway is known as Aith Hope.

South Walls forms the southern side of the harbour of Longhope. Overlooking Longhope in the north east is Hackness Martello Tower and Battery. The tower, together with another on the north side at Crockness, was built in 1815 to protect British ships in the bay of Longhope against attack by American and French privateers, during the Napoleonic Wars, while they waited for a Royal Navy escort on their journey to Baltic ports. The towers were rearmed for World War I. South Walls has substantial remains from the World War II period, when Scapa Flow was used as a Royal Navy base.

Cantick Head Coastline, South Walls, Orkney
Cantick Head is a headland located on the island of Hoy in the Orkney archipelago in Scotland. It's known for its scenic coastal views and the historic Cantick Head Lighthouse, which has been a prominent landmark in the area.
You will see the 2 large caves close to the lighthouse. Many birds nest on the cliffs and also in the caves. Dolphins & Orcas can also be spotted at this location. Unfortunately I didn’t catch any today in this footage, maybe next time.
