W. H. Murray said that Skye is sixty miles long, but what might be its breadth is beyond the ingenuity of man to state. Strathaird is however a straightforward triangular shape with the apex to the south where the lochs meet. Its base to the north is less clear-cut and is contained within the complex of the Cuillin range of mountains. The Munro Blà Bheinn that reaches is within Strathaird.
