Inchtalla facts for kids
Inchtalla (sometimes written as Inch Talla) is a small, interesting island located in the Lake of Menteith. This lake is found in the middle of Scotland.
The island's name comes from old Scottish Gaelic words. Innis means "island," and talla means "hall." So, Inchtalla means "Island of the Hall."
What is Inchtalla?
Inchtalla is a special island because it is almost completely covered by a building called Talla Castle. This castle is the main feature you see on the island.
The History of Talla Castle
The castle you see on Inchtalla today was built a long time ago, in the 18th century. However, it was built on the exact spot where an even older building once stood. That first building dates all the way back to the year 1428.
