History
Inchgalbraith is, as its name implies, connected with Clan Galbraith, and was one of their strongholds.[1] The remains of their ancient castle can still be seen.[2] It is possibly a crannog.[3] Restoration work was undertaken, probably in the late 19th century, with the use of gravelly concrete.[4]
Geography
It is on the west side of Loch Lomond, two miles (three kilometres) southeast of Luss.[2] Its greatest elevation is 25 feet (8 metres).[5] The most area on the island is covered by the castle and now with the collapsed stones from the castle itself.[4]
Wildlife
Inchgalbraith was a breeding place for ospreys until 1869.[1][6]
