This is an incomplete list of offshore islands ranked by area.

The area measurement is per List of islands of Scotland. As the sortable table there creates a very long unnumbered list this table has been created to enable users of Template:Infobox Scottish island to determine the area ranks without having to count a lengthy list. Further details are available from Ben MacDui and Finavon who keep a main list on a more user friendly spreadsheet form.
