"The name of this parish is derived from Kill, which in the Gaelic language signifies a burial-place, and Martin, or St. Martin, the patron saint to whom it was dedicated.
This parish is situated about the centre of the district of Argyle proper, and is nearly co-extensive with the ancient barony of Ariskeodnish, - a name signifying a shealing and sheltered valley with good pasture. The form of the parish is oblong, extending in length, from north-east to south-west, about 12 miles , and in breadth, about 3 1/2 miles. It is bounded on the south-west by Loch Crinan, the northern entrance into the Crinan Canal; on the north-west, by Loch Craignish and the parish of Craignish; on the north-east by the parish of Dalavich; and on the south-east by Loch Awe and the parish of Kilmichael Glassary. The upper or north-east end of the parish stretches, for about 5 miles along the north bank of Lochawe & is much diversified by hill & dale. The land rises

abruptly from the margin of the lake to the elevation of about 1000 feet, and the descent is equally steep on the other side, where it marches with the parish of Craignish. The same continuous ridge of hills - bounded by Craignish & Loch Craignish on the one side, and by the valley of Kilmartin on the other - extends westward about 7 miles, until it terminates at Duntroon near the entrance to Loch Crinan. The coast is singularly indented with long peninsular ridges, and islands running in the same north-easterly direction; thus forming a succession of narrow inlets that give a peculiarly picturesque character to the scenery. Parallel with the shores of Loch Craignish, lie several islands, the two principal of which, Island Righ and Island Macasken, both belonging to this parish, are pleasantly diversified with broken knolls and scattered woods, divided by little dells of the richest verdure |

cist containing an urn and human remains. "Along the valley of Kilmartin, & in some other parts of the parish, there are a number of large circular Cairns of stones. Some of them have been explored and found to contain stone coffins about 4 feet long by 2 broad, so that the body must have been doubled up, or burned, & the bones & ashes deposited in them. The latter supposition is the more likely as Urns or earthen vases rudely ornamented, & containing a small quantity of red ashes, are generally found at the one end of the Coffin, & human bones of a larger size than such as are now commonly met with, are deposited in the centre. A few Silver Coins & one in particular, bearing the name of Ethelred, has been found in one of those Stone Coffins; and in another a spear head about 10 inches long, composed of a mixture of brass & iron; as also a polished stone, shaped somewhat like a battle-axe, which seem to indicate that some of the persons whose remains have been there deposited, were men "whose trade was war". Contiguous to these Cairns are occasionally to be found open circles of stones placed on end, and large pillars of stones standing 17 or 18 feet about ground.
Various opinions are entertained regarding the origin of these rude monuments of

of antiquity, which like the Egyptian pyramids, have outlived the names & events they were doubtless designed to commemorate; some think that they have been the work of the Druids; while others, with more probability, believe that this extensive plain must at some distant period have been the scene of a succession of bloody contests between the natives & some invading tribes, & that this monuments were raised by the survivors, to the memory of those fallen in battle. The name of the district, too, of which the valley of Kilmartin is nearly the centre, Viz. Aragaidheal, i.e. the battlefield, or slaughter of the Gael, - seems to favour the latter supposition.

"At the southwest extremity of the parish stands the Castle of Duntroon. This Castle withstood the ravages of the celebrated Coll Macdonnell, alias Coll Ciotach i.e. left handed Coll & his followers when he invaded Argyleshire, who finding that it was impregnable proceeded northward along the Strath of Kilmartin towards Athnacra, near the ford of Lochawe, destroying and plundering everything in his way on the estates of Duntroon, Rassly & Kilmartin, and carrying away all the cattle with the exception of one dun cow. This cow is still known by the natives by the name of Bo-Mhaol othar Achabhean ie the humel dun cow of Achaven. The Castle has been put into a complete state of repair by the proprietor Mr. Malcolm of Poltalloch" New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] |
