The sheep are not marooned here. The island is only seldom cut off from the rest of Skye by the highest tides. Most of the time, there is access via a short rocky causeway. The rocky patch in Loch Vatten to the right of this picture is Cleat Skerry, the largest of several seaweed-covered rocks in the loch which lie just submerged at high tide waiting to catch unwary mariners.
