The Shiant Islands or Shiant Isles are a privately owned island group in the Minch, east of Harris in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. They are five miles southeast of the Isle of Lewis. The name Shiant is from the Scottish Gaelic Na h-Eileanan Seunta, which means the "charmed", "holy" or "enchanted isles". The group is also known as Na h-Eileanan Mòra, "the big isles". The main islands are Garbh Eilean and Eilean an Taighe, which are joined by a narrow isthmus, and Eilean Mhuire to the east. Eilean an Taighe was called Eilean na Cille prior to the 19th century.
