Insh Island or simply Insh is an uninhabited island west of the island of Seil in the Firth of Lorn, Scotland. One of the Slate Islands, Insh Island lies a mile northeast of Ellenabeich in Seil. It is separated from it by the Sound of Insh. The island rises to 69 metres and is 36 hectares in area. A previous owner, David Brearley lived in a cave at the north end of the island between 1973 and 2003. It was "Eilean nan Caorach" on the 1875 OS maps, which was thought to have been an error, with its correct name being "Inis-Capul". It is now on OS maps as "Insh Island". Insh was previously known as Sheep Island.
