Inchconnachan ("Innis Chonachain" in Gaelic) is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland.

The 1920s wooden bungalow near to the narrows was the holiday home of Lady Arran Colquhoun. She introduced wallabies which still roamed wild. It is one of the very few places outside Australia which has a viable population of wallabies.cite web| url=http://www.loch-lomond.net/islands/inchconnachan.html| title=Loch Lomond Islands: Inchconnachan| publisher=Loch Lomond.net| accessdate=2007-08-24]
