Bucinch
From Wikishire
Bucinch is a small island in Loch Lomond, forming part of the parish of Buchanan, Stirlingshire. Its name is from the Gaelic Buc-Innis, meaning 'Buck Island' or 'Male Goat Island'.
The heavily wooded island lies due north of Inchcruin[1] and rises steeply from a rocky coastline[2] to 24m (78 feet)[3] in a central summit.[4]
Along with smaller neighbour, Ceardach, Bucinch was donated to the National Trust for Scotland by Col Charles L Spencer of Warmanbie, Dumfries, in 1943.[4][5] Although uninhabited for centuries, there are remains of a stone jetty.[2]
