{{about|a castle on an islet in Loch Boisdale||Calvay (disambiguation)}}Calvay Castle ({{lang-gd|Caisteal Calbhaigh}}) is a ruined castle on an islet close to the island of Calbhaigh, at the eastern approaches to Loch Boisdale, South Uist. The castle is linked by a causeway from Calbhaigh, which becomes inundated at high tide. The castle is a scheduled monument.^[1]

The castle may have been built by the MacRuaries of Garmoran, or by the MacNeils of Barra who were granted the lands of Boisdate in the 15th century.^[2] Bonnie Prince Charlie hid at the castle in June 1746, while fleeing from the Duke of Cumberland's troops after the Battle of Culloden.^[2]

The island also has a lighthouse, built by David Alan Stevenson in 1891.^[3]
