The Skate of Marrister is a flat ledge that extends about 300 yards from the western shore of Whalsay, in the Shetland islands of Scotland. It is slightly more than 1 mile north-north-west from Symbister Ness off the village of Marrister, in Linga Sound. At low tide the ledge rises 5 feet above the water.
