At low tide it is only about {{convert|100|m|ft}} from mainland Skye. Harlosh Skerry lies just offshore to the north west. At low tide on the northern coast there is a large sand bay, however, watercraft should take caution when attempting to land in the bay as several rock formations pose a navigational hazard at low tide. The name "Harlosh" is of Old Norse origin and may refer to a river mouth, although the meaning is not clear.[4] Notes1. ^Rick Livingstone’s Tables of the Islands of Scotland (pdf) Argyll Yacht Charters.
