Inveruglas island: the 'Island of the Black Stream', the stream being the Inveruglas water which decends the hillside from Loch Sloy past the ruins of the summer shielings. The stream enters the loch just to the south of Inveruglas village. The island has the remains of a castle, once the stronghold of the MacFarlanes. This is one of the many castles in Scotland which Cromwell 'knocked about a bit' during the 17th Century - it was burned to the ground.
Plenty of wildlife including swans and ducks. Please avoid the nesting sites and preferably don't take dogs, thanks.
NOTE: Please don't try to swim unless you are in the SBS and have full scuba gear on - the water is COLD no matter how hot a day it is and the power station may be turned on at a moments notice causing turbulence and fast currents.
