User:Crouch, Swale/Island capitals

Capitals of Scottish islands. Some will be reliably sourced, some aren't. Unless otherwise stated its assumed the capital listed here is also the largest settlement.

Reliably sourced

The following aren't nessesarrily the most reliable sources in the world since there mainly primary/commercial but are probably reliable enough considering the context.

• Orkney (archipelago), Kirkwall[3]
• Mull, Tobermory[4][5]
• Skye, Portree[6][7]
• Islay, Bowmore[8][9] Port Ellen largest?
• Bute, Rothesay[10]
• Jura, Craighouse[11]
• Harris (not a separate island), Tarbert[12][13]
• Coll, Arinagour[14][15][16]
• North Uist, Lochmaddy[17]

Not reliably sourced
