Eilean Leathann is an island that is connected to the nearby Garbh-eilean by a narrow road running over a short causeway that then joins the main North Ford Causeway or Oitir Mór between North Uist and Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.[1][5][6] In 2022 the census recorded a permanent population on the island of a single individual.[2]
