Scarba is a small island, west of Argyll in Scotland. The island has not been permanently inhabited for many years, but was once known for its slate industry. It is now covered in heather and used for grazing animals. Scarba and a few nearby islets (Lunga and the Garvellachs) are collectively the Scarba, Lunga and the Garvellachs National Scenic Area.
The island rises steeply to a peak (Cruach Scarba) of 449 metres, and lies just north of the Gulf of Corrievrechan, known for its whirlpool.
