There are two small, uninhabited Islands both named Calvay which lie off the coast of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.

The more southerly island is situated in the Sound of Eriskay. It was here that the ship SS Politician ran aground with its cargo of whisky in 1941.

The other is located off the mouth of Loch Boisdale about 4 miles north to the north. The island contains a lighthouse and the ruins of an old castle.
