The Outer Skerries, often called the Out Skerries or just The Skerries (although this may lead to confusion with the Ve Skerries ), are a island group in Shetland, Scotland. They lie about four miles north east of Whalsay and form the easternmost part of Scotland.

The main islands, all small, are Housay, Bruray and Grunay . The first two of these are populated and are linked by a bridge. The islands have a school, two shops, a fish processing factory an airstrip and a church. For a detailed history see "Out Skerries - an Island Community" by Joan Dey, ISBN no: 0-900662-74-3
