North Ronaldsay is the northernmost of the Orkney Islands, Scotland. The main industries on the island are crofting and sheep farming, where unique North Ronaldsay sheep are largely farmed collectively.

Other sights on North Ron include Holland House built in 1727, the Old Beacon dating from 1789 and the tall New Lighthouse. The island is also home to a bird observatory.

Flights link the island with Kirkwall on the Orkney Mainland, as does a weekly ferry.
