Stromay (

Scottish Gaelic: Sròmaigh) is a tidal island[4] off North Uist in the Sound of Harris, Scotland
.

The low island of Stromay lies between two wide, shallow sea lochs, Loch Mhic Phàil and Loch Aulasary.[4] Stromay is joined to North Uist for most of the tidal cycle.

A smaller islet of the same name lies between

Ensay,[5] and another (Stròmaigh) between North Uist and Kirkibost.[3]

There are extensive sands and rocks offshore that are exposed at low tide.[6]
