The [[freshwater]] islands in [[Scotland]] include those within freshwater [[loch]]s and rivers – including tidal areas, so the islands may not always be surrounded by freshwater. It has been estimated that there are at least 31,460 freshwater lochs in Scotland and that 1.9 per cent of the land surface is covered by freshwater. The distribution has a north-west to south-east gradient, with the highest concentrations occurring on the islands of the [[Outer Hebrides]].<ref name=SNH>

Various names are used repeatedly. "Inch" or {{lang|sco|Innis}} is a [[Scots language|Scots]] word that can mean 'island' (although it is also used for [[Wiktionary:terra firma|terra firma]] surrounded by marsh). Similarly, {{lang|gd|Eilean}} is the [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] for 'island'. A common suffix for offshore islands in the north of Scotland is "-holm", derived from the [[Old Norse]] {{lang|non|holmr}}, meaning a 'small and rounded islet'.<ref>Mac an Tàilleir (2003) various pages.</ref><ref>For example, Haswell-Smith (2004) pp. 96, 104, 375.</ref><ref>Fellows-Jensen, Gillian [http://www.ramsdale.org/dalr.htm "On dalr and holmr in the place-names of Britain"] Ramsdale.org. Retrieved 29 April 2010.</ref>  This list excludes artificial [[crannóg]]s and the numerous small freshwater islands with no recorded name.{{refn| Crannógs are excluded as they are both artificial and very numerous. There are at least 600 of these small prehistoric structures in Scotland.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/history/articles/crannogs/ "Crannogs"] BBC. Retrieved 23 January 2010.</ref>|group=Note}}{{refn|There is a significant difference between the Ordnance Survey (OS) treatment of freshwater and offshore islands. See for example Loch Snigiscleit at {{gbmapping|NF802254}}. If the islands here were offshore it is virtually certain that  there would be three substantial named islands and probably half a dozen named smaller ones. There are several examples – Loch Druidibeag has two named islands and about a dozen un-named. It is not clear whether this because the OS only chose to list a few larger ones and those identified by [[RCAHMS]], or if for some reason local people did not give names to smaller islands in lochs.|group=Note}}

[[Loch Awe]] is Scotland's longest loch and abounds with islands and crannógs. Several of the islands are, or have in the past, been inhabited; there are two castles and the remains of a chapel on the islands.<ref>See Ordnance Survey maps at for example {{gbm4ibx|NN073220}} and {{gbm4ibx|NN102247}}.</ref> Inistrynich, Eilean na Maodail, Eilean Dubh and Liever Island are all [[promontory|promontories]] as opposed to islands despite their names. The loch's water levels have fluctuated so some of them may have been islands in recent history, as the promontory  on which [[Kilchurn Castle]] stands once was.<ref>Coventry (2008) p. 78.</ref>

There may be up to sixty islands in the [[Loch Lomond]] including [[Inchmurrin]], the largest freshwater island anywhere in the [[United Kingdom|Britain]] and [[Ireland]], and [[Inchconnachan]], which has hosted a small population of [[Red-necked Wallaby]] since at least 1975.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.loch-lomond.net/islands/inchconnachan.html |title=Loch Lomond Islands: Inchconnachan |publisher=Loch Lomond.net |access-date=25 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090609142648/http://www.loch-lomond.net/islands/inchconnachan.html |archive-date=June 9, 2009 }}</ref><ref name=Welch>{{cite tech report| last = Welch | first = D. |author2=Carss, D.N. |author3=Gornall, J. |author4=Manchester, S.J. |author5=Marquiss, M. |author6=Preston, C.

Although there are many crannógs in the lochs of the [[Inner Hebrides]] there are relatively few substantive, naturally occurring islands and of those that exist many are unnamed.{{refn|In a few cases the presence of islands provides a loch with its name such as Loch an Eilein on Mull or Loch nan Eilean on Jura.|group=Note}}
By contrast there are innumerable small islands in the estimated 7,500 lochs of the [[Eilean Siar]],<ref name=SNH/> only a small proportion of which are named by the [[Ordnance Survey]].<ref>See Ordnance Survey map for Loch Sgadabhagh at {{gbm4ibx|NF854683}} for example.</ref>

The [[Orkney]] and [[Shetland]] archipelagos to the north are similarly lacking in freshwater islands. [[Law Ting Holm]], now attached to Mainland Shetland, was the location of the national þing, or Norse parliament of Shetland.<ref name=thing>Smith, Brian, (2009) "On the nature of tings: Shetland´s law courts from the middle ages until 1611".
