Placename
Gaelic name: Sgeir a' Chac
Name in Original Source: Sgeir a' Chac
English meaning: Shitty reef
Placename feature: Skerry
Notes: This lies off the southernmost point of the west entrance to Loch Toscaig. Sandy Cameron said that this reef used to be called Sgeir a' Chac, possibly due to it being treacherous. Apparently, in days gone by, sailing boats used to lie waiting in the small bay behind it, at anchor, for a helpful wind.<br /><br />This reef is also called, officially Sgeir Shalach (q.v.)
