Rubha nam Brathairean (Brothers Point) is the most easterly point on the Isle of Skye. Nobody seems certain of the origin of the name, but it is most often said to have been a place where monks lived and worshiped in safety more than a thousand years ago. Beyond the point lies the island of Rona and the mainland of Scotland over the Inner Sound.
