Bucinch

Bucinch or Buc-Innis (Scottish Gaelic: "Buck Island" or "Male Goat Island") is a small island in Loch Lomond, in west central Scotland.

The heavily wooded island lies due north of Inchcruin [3] and rises steeply from a rocky coastline [4] to 24 metres (79 feet) [5] in a central summit. [6]

Along with smaller neighbour, Ceardach, Bucinch was donated to the National Trust for Scotland by Col Charles L Spencer of Warmanbie, Dumfries, in 1943. [6] [7] Although uninhabited for centuries, there are remains of a stone jetty. [4]
