or Fowla Island, one of the Shetland Isles, lying between six and seven leagues west from Mainland. It is about three miles in length, narrow, and full of rugged, steep, and bare rocks. Its summit has an elevation of 1350 feet. Foula, it has been conjectured, is the Thule of Tacitus. It is pastoral, and maintains a few families.
