[6][8] After the closure of illicit whisky stills around the loch, Inchfad became the home of a registered distillery.

[9] Other owners have included the Dukes of Montrose, and Charles Collins, founder of the publishing dynasty.

[6][9] The island was bought in 1944 by an English couple called Davison, who set about restoring the farm to working condition.

After they succeeded, they sold the island, and set off in a converted fishing vessel, which was wrecked off Portland Bill drowning Frank Davison.

His widow Ann Davison later wrote an autobiography called Home was an Island about their life on Inchmurrin and Inchfad.
