Little Minch

The Little Minch separates Skye from Harris and North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Skye's long peninsulas reach towards the western islands, narrowing the passage and directing tidal streams over an uneven seabed. Rocky shores, sea lochs and the Sound of Harris break the coast on either side. This sheltered but intricate waterway joins the Minch to the Sea of the Hebrides farther south.
