Geography

Gruney means a "green island", and "sound" refers to the strait. Sound Gruney's maximum elevation is about 9 metres (30 ft) above sea level.

Daaey is to the south east, and Urie Lingey to the east. The latter is 1 km north of Urie Ness on Fetlar, hence the name. Wedder Holm, south of Uyea, is to the north east.
