We anchored just off there in July, Nice wee anchorage it is too. Right at the top of the Sound of Sleat right before you turn 90 degrees to port then 90 degrees to Starboard through Kyle Rhea.

It looks for all the world that it's been on Auto pilot and forgotten to turn it off before they ran out of water. Whoopsie

This week is spring tides too - ie the biggest ones. If they don’t get it off tomorrow then it’s on them for the next few weeks at least!

Maybe they need to check the propeller?

Lucky for them the next couple of evening’s high tides are slightly higher.
Been out for an evening kayak and was able to pass through inlets and around islets you normally can’t get through - about 20 harbour seals piled up on a rock as their normal skerrie hang-outs under water.

Clearly you CAN park there

Whether you should park there is another question.

Is it SORNed?

Ship On Rock Notification?
