Quibble Island, River island in Chennai, India

Quibble Island stands encircled by the Adyar River and its tributary, creating a natural boundary between the neighborhoods of Mylapore and Adyar.

The British administration established a European cemetery on the island in the colonial period, marking its presence in Chennai's development during the 18th century.

The presence of actor J.P. Chandrababu's grave in the island's cemetery connects this location to the rich history of Indian cinema and Tamil entertainment.

Visitors can reach the island through local transport options from Chennai, with several points of access available from both Mylapore and Adyar districts.

The island contains Brodie Castle, built after James Brodie received an 11-acre land grant in 1796, representing early British architectural influence in the region.
