Inch Clutha

Inch Clutha

Inch Clutha is a large, flat island sitting in the delta of the Clutha River in the South Island of New Zealand, downstream from the town of Balclutha. Approximately ten kilometres in length and three kilometres in width, the fertile but flood-prone land of the island is extensively farmed.

The island takes its name from Scots Gaelic, "innis" meaning "island" and "Cluaidh" being the Gaelic form of the name of Scotland's River Clyde.
