Sgeir nan Each

Sgeir nan Each is a small uninhabited island located off the coast of Ross-shire in the Highlands of Scotland. The island is situated approximately 3 kilometers northwest of the mainland, in the Inner Sound between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish mainland.

Sgeir nan Each measures around 0.3 hectares in size and is primarily composed of rocky outcrops and exposed cliffs. The island's name, which translates to "rock of the horses" in Scottish Gaelic, is believed to have been derived from the presence of seals, which were historically referred to as "sea horses" by the local population.

Due to its remote location and challenging terrain, Sgeir nan Each is not accessible to the general public. However, the island is known to be an important site for various bird species, including nesting seabirds such as fulmars, kittiwakes, and guillemots. Puffins can also be spotted in the area during the breeding season.

The surrounding waters of Sgeir nan Each are rich in marine life, attracting seals and occasional sightings of dolphins and whales. The island's rocky shoreline provides a suitable habitat for marine plants and invertebrates.

Sgeir nan Each is part of a larger archipelago of islands in the Inner Sound, contributing to the diverse natural landscape and ecological significance of the region.
