Skate of Marrister
The Skate of Marrister is a flat ledge that extends about from the western shore of Whalsay, in the Shetland islands of Scotland. It is slightly more than north-north-west from Symbister Ness off the village of Marrister, in Linga Sound. At low tide the ledge rises above the water. There is a risk that the strong tide in Whalsay Sound will carry a boat onto the Skate.
There is a minor light on the Skate with a nominal range of four miles, flashing green every six seconds.
Piltock may be caught around the skate.
