Quite fun but too hard even for the average jetpunker. My 20% beats more than half of those who tried it.

It has taken me quite a while to learn these. At least you get enough time to type your answers. I don´t like the new format though almost had to relearn them. Just saying.

Bruray is in Shetland, not Orkney. Burray is in Orkney, not Shetland. Otherwise an excellent quiz.

Managed to get 44 (19%), although there were a few I knew after I gave up.

This deserves to be featured just for the work you must have put in.

Nominated !

Staffa?

Staffa is a cracker of an island, though, as the caveat states, this quiz only consists of islands 'with an area greater than 40 hectares and/or are inhabited'. Staffa does not meet these criteria.
