The island was created between 1924 and 1926 when the depth of the loch was increased to allow boating. Since the 1980s, visitors have not been allowed on the island which is kept as a sanctuary for wildlife. The loch is the major part of the Hogganfield Park Local Nature Reserve https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/16588/Hogganfield-Park-and-Local-Nature-Reserve-LNR.
