Ceardach is a small uninhabited[1] island in Loch Lomond, in west central Scotland. The island lies east of Bucinch and north of Inchcruin. The name Ceardach means a smithy.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Ceardach may have been the site of an Iron Age bloomery or furnace for smelting iron ore.[2]
Along with its neighbour, Bucinch, the island, was donated to the National Trust for Scotland by Col. Charles L. Spencer of Warmanbie, Dumfries, in 1943.[3]
Flora
[edit | edit source]A large variety of trees and other plants grow on the island, from seeds brought by birds, wind and water. There is a mature if stunted oak tree, willow, holly, briar, and bramble.[2]
