Islands of Fleet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Islands of Fleet are a group of small islands in Galloway, Scotland. They are in Fleet Bay, which is part of Wigtown Bay, which is in turn part of the Solway Firth in the Irish Sea. There are three main ones.

  • Murray's Isles, owned by the National Trust for Scotland, with the small rock "Horse Mark" off it.
  • Ardwall Isle (Ard Bhaile - high town), which has a cairn and the remains of a chapel on it, and has the "Old Man of Fleet" off it.
  • Barlocco Island, with the "Three Brethren" off it.
