There are also similarly named islands of Graemsay in Orkney and Grímsey in Iceland.

Grimsay (Scottish Gaelic: Griomasaigh) is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, linked to both North Uist and Benbecula by causeways.

In the 2001 census, Grimsay had a population of 201. The main settlements are Baymore (Bàgh Mòr) and Kallin (Ceallan) at the eastern end of the island. The island's main industry is fishing, mostly for lobster, prawns and scallops, although boat building was previously important.

East of Grimsay lie several smaller islands including Ronay which was inhabited until the 1920s.
