[[File:Caisteal-maol-dunakin-recreation.jpg|thumb|200px|Scotland is famous for its castles and ghosts. This is a rare example of a castle that <u>is</u> a ghost.]]

* Significant additions to [[List of sea stacks in Scotland]]

==To Do List==
Some priorities for improvement:
===Creation===
* 1.  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scottish_Islands/Requested_articles|Requested articles]]
* 2.  Islands lacking pages: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Scottish Islands/Islands by area|Islands by area]] (NB alt spellings) including:
**Outer Hebrides:
***[[Flodday, Loch Maddy]] - c 50 ha
*** Sound of Harris - [[Gilsaigh]],  [[Groaigh]], [[Sursaigh]], [[Bhacasaigh]]/Vacasay (at 29 ha the largest red linked island)
*** E of N Uist - [[Flodaigh Beag]]
*** E of Benbecula - tidal islands [[Fuidheigh Beag]]  and [[Orasaigh, Benbecula]]
*** SE of Benbecula - [[Fodragaigh]], [[Trialabreac]]
*** Outliers - [[Haskeir Eagach]]
**Orkney - [[Start Point, Sanday]] (currently a redirect)
**Freshwater - [[Eilean Dubh Mòr, Loch Sgadabhagh]]
* 3. Munros: [[Sgurr Dubh Mòr]], [[Sgurr nan Eag]]

===Expansion===
# [http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Scottish_Islands&importance=Top-Class&quality=Stub-Class Top priority stubs]
# Smaller islands with no infoboxes: [[Dùn, St Kilda]], [[Grunay]], [[Haaf Gruney]], [[Inchcruin]], [[Inchmoan]], [[Lady's Holm]], [[Linga, Vaila]], [[Little Holm, Scatness]],[[Little Holm, Yell Sound]], [[Little Roe]], [[Muckle Skerry]], [[North Havra]], [[Sibhinis]], [[Urie Lingey]], [[Uynarey]] 
# Other stubs: [[:Category:Stub-Class_Scottish_Islands_articles|Scottish islands stubs]], [[:Category:Shetland stubs|Shetland stubs]], [[:Category:Orkney stubs|Orkney stubs]], [[:Category:Western Isles geography stubs|Outer Hebridean stubs]]

===Cleanup===
# See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Scottish Islands/Cleanup listing|Cleanup listing]]
# Tidy up main list&nbsp;- some of the red links are unlikely topics for articles and could be relegated to an appearance on the subsidiary lists.
