Inch or Alloa Inch (Scottish Gaelic: innis, island) is an 80 acre island in the tidal reaches of the River Forth near Alloa, just before the river opens out into the Firth of Forth.
In the 1700's it was a mud bank covered in salt marsh, flooded to a depth of four to six feet at spring tides.
Then in 1800's the island was surveyed and plans put in place to build a nine foot embankment to keep the water out and produce fertile farmland.
There is a derelict farmhouse on the island and some abandoned vessels are parked on its eastern shore, as the land was farmed in the past. Due to subsidence caused by nearby coal mining, flood defences were breached. The land now consists of reed beds and salt marshes.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust has owned and managed the island as a reserve since 1996. Today, the spot is important as a refuge for geese on their migration routes north.
The smaller islet of Tullibody Inch lies just upstream.
