Neish Island, a wooded artificial islet of Comrie parish, Perthshire, in the middle of the lower part of Loch Earn, opposite St Fillans village. In the early part of the 17th century the small remnant of the clan Neish, that had survived the battle of Glenboltachan, subsisted on this isle by plundering, till, one winter night, they were surprised and slain-all save one man and a boy- by their ancient foes, the Macnabs.Ord. Sur., sh. 47, 1869.
