Geography

It is one of the smaller islands in the loch. Torrinch, along with Inchmurrin, Creinch, and Inchcailloch, forms part of the Highland Boundary Fault.[3] In the 1800s it was covered with oaks.[4]

It lies just to the south-west of the larger island of Inchcailloch, and north-east of Creinch.
