Donald's Isle is a settlement site located on Loch Doon in Ayrshire, Scotland, approximately 750 metres south-south-west of Lamdoughty Farm. The site represents a loch-dwelling settlement of medieval or later medieval date, characteristic of the settlement patterns found around Scottish freshwater lochs during this period. The isle itself would have provided a defensible location for habitation, exploiting the natural resource of the loch for subsistence and transport. The precise dating and extent of occupation at Donald's Isle remain subjects for further archaeological investigation, though its designation as a scheduled monument reflects its historical importance to understanding settlement practices in south-west Scotland.
