Ardwall Isle

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

  • Murray 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. The largest of the three, it is approximately Шаблон:Convert in extent.[1]
  • Barlocco Island, with the "Three Brethren" off it. Barlocco Island is about Шаблон:Convert. It has a pebble beach where a boat can be anchored or beached. At low tide it is accessible on foot, by tractor, or quad bike.[2]

Ardwall Isle, Barlocco Isle, and the Murray Isles are four of 43 tidal islands that can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain and two of 17 that can be walked to from the Scottish mainland.[3]
