The Skate of Marrister is a flat ledge that extends about {{convert|300|yd}} from the western shore of Whalsay, in the Shetland islands of Scotland. It is slightly more than {{convert|1|mi}} north-north-west from Symbister Ness off the village of Marrister, in Linga Sound. At low tide the ledge rises {{convert|5|ft}} above the water.{{sfn|United States Hydrographic Office|1950|p=310}} There is a risk that the strong tide in Whalsay Sound (Linga Sound) will carry a boat onto the Skate.{{sfn|Cowie|1879|p=105}}

There is a minor light on the Skate with a nominal range of four miles, flashing green every six seconds.{{sfn|{{harvid|NLB LIGHTS AS AT 22 MARCH 2011}}|p=4}}

Piltock may be caught around the skate.{{sfn|Cohen|1989|p=223}}
