Ascrib Islands

Ascrib Islands relative to Skye

The Ascrib Islands are a group of small islands lying in Loch Snizort off the northwest coast of Skye, in Highland, Scotland.

Together with Isay and Loch Dunvegan, they are designated as a Special Area of Conservation owing to the breeding colonies of the common seal.

There is a house on South Ascrib, the largest of the islands.

The islands came up for sale in the late 1990s, and were bought by Lord Palumbo.
