Sgat Mòr and Sgat Beag

Sgat Mòr lies at grid reference NR930666 directly south of Eilean Aoidhe and rises just 11 metres (36 ft) above sea level.

Sgat Beag is a similar but slightly smaller island that lies approximately 1 kilometre to the east, across the mouth of Asgog Bay.

The channel between Sgat Mòr and the Cowal shoreline at Eilean Aoidhe is navigable and local sailing regattas, paddle steamer Waverley and MV Balmoral regularly pass inside this narrow channel.

[4] A beacon resembling a small lighthouse is situated on the southwestern shore of Sgat Mòr.

[5] Sgat Mòr was traditionally a habitat for the Common eider,[6] however predation from invasive mink caused breeding to collapse in the mid 2000s.
