It covers an area of {{convert|32|acre|m2}}.[3] HistoryMugdrum's name is from muc-dhruim, the Scottish Gaelic for hog-back. However, this was applied to the coast opposite, which part it was named for.[3] The reeds were once harvested for thatching and for protecting potatoes during transshipment. Until 1926, a {{convert|50|acre|m2|sing=on}} farm grew cereals, potatoes and turnips in the island's alluvial soil. It is now a nature reserve under the stewardship of the Tay Valley Wildfowlers' Association. The Laing Museum in Newburgh preserves the stuffed body of a two-headed kitten born in the 19th century on Mugdrum. See also
