Papar in The Hebrides
The Outer Hebrides have many examples of the papar, but with the crucial difference that the Norse language died out early in this area, and it is arguable whether Scottish Gaelic ever died out at all. There are at least three islands originally named Papey, now spelt "Pabbay" (Gaelic: Pabaigh) in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland:
- Pabbay near Barra lying in the Bishop's Isles
- Pabbay near Harris
- Pabbay, South Uist grid reference NF775195Pabay, is in the Inner Hebrides, near Skye.
