Bucinch
The heavily wooded island lies due north of Inchcruin[3] and rises steeply from a rocky coastline[4] to 24 metres (79 feet)[5] in a central summit.[6]
Along with smaller neighbour, Ceardach, Bucinch was donated to the National Trust for Scotland by Col Charles L Spencer of Warmanbie, Dumfries, in 1943.[6][7] Although uninhabited for centuries, there are remains of a stone jetty.[4]
