The Ascrib Islands (57°35'N., 6°31'W.), a group of uninhabited islets, rocks, and reefs, lie near the entrance of Loch Snizort. South Ascrib is the largest and S islet. Mariners without local knowledge should keep clear of the group and the bank extending N, where there are depths of 20m or less. Anchorage can be taken about 0.5 mile NNE of the N point of Eilean Iosal (57°36'N., 6°32'E.), in a depth of 22m, good holding ground in mud and sand, however, the islands are low and afford little protection from the wind.
