Inchcruin is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland. It is not to be confused with Creinch, which has occasionally been referred to as "Inchcroin".
Only a very narrow channel, called the Geggles separates Inchcruin from Inchmoan. At only deep, it is sometimes possible to wade between the islands.Worsley, Harry Loch Lomond: The Loch, the Lairds and the Legends Lindsay Publications (Glasgow) 1988
In the 18th century it was used as an asylum for the insane.Garnett, T. (1800). Observations on a Tour of the Highlands ... London. V.1. p. 42. 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."The National Records of Scotland (2013) referred to "Inchruin", which is presumably a typographical error.
