Finlagan, a hill-girt loch in Killarrow and Kilmeny parish, Isle of Islay, Argyllshire, 4½ miles W by N of Port Askaig. Measuring 1 by ¼ mile, it sends off a rivulet of its own name to salt-water Loch Gruinard, and abounds with trout and salmon, the former averaging ½ lb. each. An islet in it is crowned by the ruins of the castle and chapel of the Macdonalds, Lords of the Isles; and on its shore are traces of a pier for communicating with the castle.
