Switha is a small island in Orkney, lying south of Flotta, used for grazing sheep. There is no written record of the island's ever being inhabited, but Neolithic standing stones and a cairn show that it was at least visited in prehistoric times.
Switha has many storm-petrel burrows and is the winter home to a large colony of barnacle geese.
