Litla-Guymon (Litla Dimun "Small Demon") is the only uninhabited of main 18 Islands of the Faroe archipelago located between Scotland and Iceland. The island has an area of about 1 km2.

Highest point — mount Ravan height 414 meters. The island is uninhabited, except for the cases when it surround clouds or deposited on top of the cap.









The name "Daimon" supposedly comes from the Celtic language and means "two hills". This refers to the two mountains on the neighboring Islands Large and Small Dimun. Small Demon never was inhabited. Its only inhabitants are sheep and puffins. Sheep graze here since ancient times.

On the island — the poorest flora of the Faroe Islands, with only eight species.

In 1850 the island was sold at auction for 5000 Danish thalers. During the bidding Royal representatives artificially inflated price in order to enrich the Royal Treasury.





In summer 2006, 28 young people from Iceland (11), Norway (8), Greenland (3) and the Faroe Islands (6) under the project "Silent island" lived for three days on a Small Dujane. They had no cell phones, no cameras, no clocks, no TV. But everyone had a pen and a notebook in which they had to describe their impressions of life in complete isolation, silence and solitude. On the basis of these records they wanted to write a play script.
