Turbot (Inis Toirbirt[1] or Tairbeart[3] in Irish) is a small island and a townland[1] of County Galway, in Ireland, also referred as Inishturbot[4] and Talbot Island.[5]
Turbot Island lies off the Irish coast not faraway from Clifden and Cleggan. It is located South of Inishturk and West of Aird Mhór Peninsula. The easiest place to land on Turbot is the North side of the island, where most of the old houses are gathered. A road cuts Turbot from East to West.[6]
