Skipness (Scottish Gaelic: Sgibinis, pronounced [ˈs̪kʲipɪnɪʃ]) is a village and Quoad sacra parish on the east coast of Kintyre in Scotland, located just over 7 miles (11 km) south of Tarbert and facing the Isle of Arran.
There is Skipness Castle (a ruined castle) and Kilbrannan Chapel, also known as St Brendan's Chapel. Both the castle and the chapel date from the 13th century, and are maintained by Historic Environment Scotland and are designated scheduled monuments.
