Torrinch
Torrinch or Inchtore (Scottish Gaelic: Torr-Innis) is a wooded island in Loch Lomond in Scotland. The name Torremach is also recorded for it.[1][2]
Geography
[edit]It is one of the smaller islands in the loch. Torrinch, along with Inchmurrin, Creinch, and Inchcailloch, forms part of the Highland Boundary Fault.[3] In the 1800s it was covered with oaks.[4]
It lies just to the south-west of the larger island of Inchcailloch, and north-east of Creinch.
