An t-Iasgair (Scottish Gaelic for the Fisherman) is a skerry in the Little Minch, to the north of the Trotternish peninsula of Skye. It lies 1.5 miles north north west of Ru Bornesketaig and is marked by a navigation light.[2] It is the largest and highest in a group of three rocks, with smaller neighbours of Sgeir nan Ruideag and An Dubh Sgeir.
