An ayre is the name used for shingle beaches found in Orkney, Shetland, the Isle of Man, Lancashire, Cumbria and Northumbria. The word is derived from the Old Norse eyrr, meaning a shingle beach or gravelly place, and may be applied to ordinary beaches, cliff-foot beaches such as the Lang Ayre in Northmavine, Shetland, spits, bars or tombolos, but only if formed of shingle. More than 130 such shingle beaches are named on Ordnance Survey maps of Shetland, but far fewer in Orkney, where most beaches are formed of sand. The word in its Old Norse form is common in Iceland, and it also occurs in a few place names in the north and west of the Scottish mainland which had a strong Norse influence, such as Eriboll ("a homestead on a shingle beach") and in the names of several shingle banks—Salt Ayr

- Un "ayre" es una masa de agua separada del mar por una barra estrecha de tierra, bastante similar a un "lagoon" y prácticamente equivalente a una albufera. El término deriva de una palabra en nórdico antiguo que se usa para describir un lago que está solo separado por una estrecha franja de tierra baja del propio mar. Algunos ejemplos de "ayre" son el y el , en Shapinsay, en las islas Orcadas. Se ha sugerido que estos "ayres" fueron una fuente para lograr alimento para el hombre de la Edad de Hierro en Shapinsay.

The word in its Old Norse form is common in Iceland, and it also occurs in a few place names in the north and west of the Scottish mainland which had a strong Norse influence, such as Eriboll ("a homestead on a shingle beach") and in the names of several shingle banks—Salt Ayre, Green Ayre, Stake Ayre, Rabbit Ayre and Whinny Ayre—in the tidal reach of the River Lune at Lancaster. Churchill Barrier number 4 in Orkney used a shingle spit, the Ayre of Cara on South Ronaldsay, as its southern landfall. This ayre is still named on maps, despite having all but vanished under the causeway and the sand dunes that have accumulated on its eastern side. The term "ayre" is sometimes wrongly applied to sand tombolos (e.g. St. Ninian's tombolo in Shetland) and to the lakes and lagoons impounded by bay-head bars, which are more properly called oyce in Orkney and houbs in Shetland.

A veces, el término "ayre" se utiliza indistintamente como el tómbolo (la estrecha franja de tierra) asociado. Los "ayres" están comúnmente asociados con las islas del Norte de Escocia (islas Orcadas e islas Shetland). El único ayre artificial, hecho por el hombre, en las islas Orcadas es el Ayre de Cara en South Ronaldsay. (es)
