An artificial island lies 110 yards from the shore at the east end of Loch Craggie (presumably that shown on OS 1:10,000 map, (1971) at NC 6304 0710). It measures 46ft by 34ft and stands 3ft 6ins above the average level of the loch. It is composed of stones of all sizes, with no indication of timbers, nor is there any trace of a causeway to the shore. Beyond the limit of the island the floor of the loch is quite clear of stones.

At NC 6304 0710 is a crannog as described above. The island at NC 6237 0786 is natural.
Visited by OS (J B) 30 September 1980.
