Pabba, an islet of Strath parish, Skye island, Inverness-shire, at the entrance of Broadford Bay, 2½ miles SE of Scalpa. With a somewhat circular outline, about a mile in diameter, it is surrounded by low reefs encroaching on its shores, and forms a flat plateau scarcely 60 feet high, the ascent to which is abrupt and mural on the SE, but gentle on the NW. It consists chiefly of limestone, but partly of micaceous shale and partly of interspersed trap; and contains remains of a small chapel. Pop. (l871) 6, (1881) 10.
