Geocache Description:

This cache was laid for the A Bute-iful Day to Cache GC15M6P


A nice quiet location on the west side of the Island with a bench located close by to admire the views of Inchmarnock.



Around 3.5 km long and rising to a height of 60 metres, Inchmarnock lies to the west of Bute. The island consists mainly of a single ridge running from north to the south. It is partially wooded and has sea caves at the north and the south and two tiny lochans inland. The island is divided into three farms, Southpark, Midpark and Northpark although only the latter is currently inhabited. A short reef of drying rocks, Traigh na h-Uil, skirts the island's west coast.

The island lends its name to the Inchmarnock Water, the body of water that lies between the island's western shore and the Kintyre peninsula. Inchmarnock Water connects the Sound of Bute and the Kilbrannan Sound in the south to Loch Fyne and the Kyles of Bute in the north.

Today, Inchmarnock is privately owned and run as an organic farm. The owner, Sir Robert Haldane Smith, has introduced a population of organic Highland Cattle
