Ascrib Islands
The Ascrib Islands are a group of small uninhabited[1] islands off the northwest coast of the Isle of Skye, in the Highland council area of Scotland. They are in Loch Snizort, between the Trotternish and Waternish peninsulas.
The islands include:
- South Ascrib
- Eilean Garave
- Eilean Creagach
- Eilean Iosal
- Sgeir a' Chapuill
- Sgeir a' Chuain
- Scalp Rock
There are also a number of smaller skerries. There is a house on South Ascrib, the largest of the islands.
The islands were purchased in 1985 and have remained in the same family's private ownership ever since. They continue to visit regularly.
Together with Isay and Loch Dunvegan, they are designated as a Special Area of Conservation owing to the breeding colonies of the common seal.
