(Re-entered as NR96NW 8011 at cited location NR c. 93 66 [N55 51 W5 18]). The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary.

Per contra the above, the Skate Islands are probably to be equated with Sgat Mor [name: NR 930 666] and Sgat Beag [name: NR 942 665] off the SW side of the Cowal peninsula.
