Beach on Inchcruin

Inchcruin is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland. It is not to be confused with Creinch, which has occasionally been referred to as "Inchcroin".

Inchcruin is one of an island group just south of Luss. It is 34 mile (1.2 kilometres) long, and 50 feet (15 metres) in elevation at its highest point.[1] Its name means "round island" in the Scottish Gaelic language, although it is not round, but a rather jagged shape.[2] It has a couple of beaches, and is wooded, with some open fields.[1]

Only a very narrow channel, called the Geggles separates Inchcruin from Inchmoan. At only 3–4 ft (90–120 cm) deep, it is sometimes possible to wade between the islands.[3][4]
