GeographyEdit
Orfasay is a tidal island in Yell Sound, connected to Yell at low tide. This is reflected in the island's name.
It is near the mouth of Hamna Voe and Cuppister in Yell.
The island is uninhabited but two structures on the North-West side of the island can be seen. The structures have no roofs, inferring that they are ruined buildings - indicating that the island was inhabited in the past.
