- There is also a Brother Island in El Nido, Palawan in the Philippines.
Brother Isle (from the Old Norse breidare øy meaning broad beach island) is a small, uninhabited island in the Shetland, Scotland. It lies between the islands of Yell and Shetland Mainland. At only 40ha in size and surrounded by tidal rips which make landing difficult, it is unlikely that the island has ever been inhabited.
