Loch Skae is a small, upland freshwater loch to the north of Blackcraig Hill, approximately 18 miles (29 km) west of Dumfries, Scotland, 0.5 mi (0.80 km) east of Loch Howie, and 1 mi (1.6 km) south of the A702. The loch is somewhat circular in shape with a maximum diameter of 0.25 mi (0.40 km) from north to south. It has an average depth of 9.5 ft (2.9 m) and is 35 ft (11 m) at its deepest point. The loch was surveyed on 29 July 1903 by James Murray as part of Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
