[Reverend] Mr. Mclean Dalmally Peter Robertson Forester's Lodge Duncan Dewar Ground officer Black's Tourists Guide County Directory of Scotland Various The parishes of Glenorchy & Inishail were conjoined into one cure in 1618. By a committee of parliament met at Inveraray in 1650 these parishes were disjoined, on account of their great extent & continued separate till the restoration; when by the Act Recissory of 1662 they were again united, and have continued since under the pastoral charge of the same incumbent. The parish of Glenorchy derives its name from the vale where the Church is built, it was formerly called Clachan Dysart, a celtic word signifying, "The Temple of the Highest." and is still retained in all Ecclesiatical deeds and records. Inishail the conjoined parish, derives its appellation from an island of the same name in Loch Awe, and on which stood the parish church, from the Reformation till 1736, when it was transferred to its present site.
