Inchlonaig is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland.
Inchlonaig is the most northerly of the larger islands in the Loch Lomond, just south of where it narrows into a ribbon loch, and north of Inchconnachan. [5]
Inchlonaig has traces of human habitation dating back to 5000BC.
Scattered across the island are yew trees. The travel writer, H.V. Morton visited in the 1930s, and mentions:
It is also stated that King Robert used this supply to make bows before the fourteenth century Battle of Bannockburn. [6] [7] [8] The island was thus of great value and the trees maintained with the utmost care. [9]
Strathcashel, a stronghold of the Dukes of Montrose was opposite Inchlonaig. [8]
Rob Roy fixed the amount of money he was to extort from Clan Colquhoun here. [8]
At various times, the island has been a deer park, especially by Sir James Colquhoun in the 17th century [5] [9] and a place of confinement for drunkards and the mentally ill. [8]
In 1873, Sir James Colquhoun, the clan chief, and some ghillies drowned after going hunting here, and they are buried together at Luss. [8]
A stone cottage is now used as a holiday home. [7] The island is classified by the National Records of Scotland as an inhabited island that "had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses." [10]
The beaches on the island are also a common location for campers who are looking for a more quiet campsite.
