Sgat Mòr
Sgat Beag

Sgat Mòr and Sgat Beag are two small, uninhabited islands that lie just off the west of the Cowal peninsula of Argyllshire, at the mouth of Loch Fyne.

  • Sgat Mòr lies at NR930666 at the mouth of Loch Fyne. The island rises just 36 feet (11 m) above sea level and is here stands a small lighthouse. The area to the south of the island is the deepest area of water in the Clyde area. Sgat Mòr is sometimes named Skate Island.
  • Sgat Beag is a similar but slightly smaller island that lies 1,000 yards to the east, attached to the coast of Cowal at low tide.
