Island I Vow
Island I Vow is a wooded islet near the head of Loch Lomond in west-central Scotland. It is 10 m tall at its highest point, and 80 m long. The island contains the remains of a castle built by the chief of Clan MacFarlane in 1577. This became the chief's primary residence after the destruction of Inveruglas Castle further down the loch, but it fell into ruin after the chief moved to the mainland.
The island's name appears as Elan(a)vow in older sources and seemingly means "island of the booth or store", from the Gaelic eilean a' bhùtha. Alternatively, the second element may be bhodha, meaning "sunken rock".
