Shillay (Gaelic:Siolaigh) is an uninhabited island which lies 2 km north of Pabbay in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
The name is derived from the Norse selr-øy meaning seal island and is a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve owing to its international importance for breeding grey seals.
The is no record or evidence that it has ever seen human habitation, but the grazing rights belong to crofters of the nearby island of Berneray.
