Ross Isles

Ross Isles

The Ross Isles are two small islands in Loch Lomond, in west central Scotland.

They lie opposite Luss, and are named after the promontory on the east shore ("ros" meaning the same in Scottish Gaelic.), where Ross Priory is located.

"The Pilot" sank off here in 1850.

They have some vegetation but are really rocky ridges, and have no decent landing places.
