Quibble Island is a river island in the city of
Chennai,

Adyar River and one of its tributaries. It is situated between the neighbourhoods of
Mylapore and
Adyar. It abuts the southern stretch of the
Marina Beach. During the
British rule, a European cemetery was located here. It also houses the grave of famous actor

James Brodie (1769-1801), a British civil servant and businessman, was granted 11 acres on Quibble Island in 1796 and built
Brodie Castle.[2] Quibble Island was first shown as having two properties in a survey from 1798 but marked blank in 1816.[3]
