Eilean a Chombraidh, known as the “Isle of Discussion,” is a tiny island located a short row from Loch Levens southern shore. For hundreds of years, arguing members of the MacDonald Clan were sent to the island by the clans chief and had to remain there until their disputes were resolved.
To help the feuding parties come to a swift, peaceful agreement, they were left with a supply of cheese, oatcakes, and Scotch whisky. Once they settled their dispute, clan members rowed up the loch to Eilean na Bainne (“the Isle of Covenant”), where the agreements were drawn up and sealed.
