Inchmurrin (Scottish Gaelic: Innis Mhearain) is the largest inland island in Britain and the most southerly on Loch Lomond. It gets its name from the chapel to St Mirren that was once on the island. The ruins of the 14th century castle built by Duncan the Eighth Earl of Lennox are at the southwest tip of the island. The castle is recorded as having been completed by 1393 and the Earls of Lennox took up residence in the 14th century when they moved from their castle in Balloch during the plague.
