About

Vaila (Old Norse: "Valey") is an island in Shetland, Scotland, lying south of the Westland peninsula of the Shetland Mainland. It has an area of 327 hectares (810 acres), and is 95 metres (312 ft) at its highest point.

Vaila is home to an organic sheep farm and is also known for its mountain hares.

From 1993, the island was owned by Richard Rowland and his wife, Dorota Rychli. The couple sold it to an undisclosed buyer in 2023.
