Inchgarvie Island sits directly underneath the Forth Rail Bridge. The history of the island goes back to the 15th Century when King James IV built a castle on this island to fortify its position, and between 1519 and 1671 it operated as a state prison. Today Inchgarvie is uninhabited and famous for its wildlife, such as fulmars, herons and cormorants.
