Background
History
The travel writer, H.V. Morton visited Loch Lomond in the 1930s, and mentions Inchcruin briefly and wrongly as "Inchcruim". In the 18th century it was used as an asylum for the insane. It contains one house, around 200 years old, which was inhabited in the past by people who farmed on the island. It is now a holiday retreat. 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."
