Nave or Noamh, an islet of Kilchoman parish, Islay island, Argyllshire, to the W of the mouth of Loch Gruinnard, 10 miles N by W of Bowmore. Its name signifies 'Holy,' and alludes to an ancient church and a large burying-ground. The church is still represented by some ruins, and the burying-ground contains some clay-slate grave-stones, with curious sculptures.
