Kõrgelaid lies off the western coast of the Estonian mainland between the islands of Hiiumaa and Muhu, just south of the small island of Rooglaid. It is administered by Hiiu County. The island encompasses roughly 16 hectares and is part of the Hiiumaa Islets Landscape Reserve.[2]
Kõrgelaid had previously been inhabited and even offered travelers inns in which visitors could stay.
