About Gasker
Gasker is an island. Location: Western Isles, Scotland.
Gasker is a small uninhabited islet in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, 8 kilometres (4+1⁄2 nautical miles) southwest of Scarp, off the west coast of Harris. The low-lying island has never been inhabited. In spite of its small size, it has several small pools of fresh water. It is principally noted for its large well-established seal colony. Residents of Scarp once visited Gasker regularly to kill seals for food.
