Foula Scotland

Possibly the most remote of Great Britains inhabited islands, Foula (or Bird Island as it translates from old Norse) seems to have been inhabited for over 5000 years, which is impressive given its current population is about 38 people. Its isolation meant that Foula was one of the last places in the world where the Norn language (a derivative of Old Norse) was actually spoken, well into the 19th century.
