Inner Sound, Raasay and Skye, Highland

The Inner Sound is a strait separating the Inner Hebridean islands of Skye, Raasay and South Rona from the Applecross peninsula on the Scottish mainland.
Raasay is an island 14 miles north to south and 3 miles east to west at its widest located between the Isle of Skye and the mainland of Scotland. It is separated from Skye by the Sound of Raasay and from Applecross by the Inner Sound.
