Moncreiffe Island, River island in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
Moncreiffe Island divides the River Tay into two channels and extends across 46 hectares of land within the boundaries of Perth and Kinross.
The island's northern section contained a water filtration system designed by teacher Adam Anderson between 1780 and 1846 to supply drinking water to Perth.
The King James VI Golf Course occupies a large portion of the island, while the Perth Working Men's Garden Association maintains allotments in the northern section.
The single-track Tay Viaduct railway bridge crosses the northern part of the island, connecting Perth to Dundee through the Carse of Gowrie.
With only three permanent residents recorded in the 2011 census, this island stands as Scotland's sole inhabited freshwater island outside of Loch Lomond.
