[Parish] Schoolmaster Old Stat [Statistical] Account New Stat [Statistical] Account Oliver & Boyd's Almanac Sheriff's Returns Origines Parochiales Black's Coy. [County] Map of Argyle Various Glassary has been said to be "evidently derived from Glastra," or rather Glas-rath, a greyish strath, as being "descriptive of the lower end of the Parish". It may be so; but Glasaìridh, or the Grey Pasturage or Shealing, seems a less forced and still more descriptive etymology, characteristic alike of the pastoral habits of the past ages, and of the general appearance of the whole parish, whose surface of rugged uplands rather than lofty mountains, renders it naturally more fitted for pasturage than for tillage. It is bounded by Lochfyne on the south and south-east; by Lochawe and part of the parish of Kilmartin on the north-west and north; by the parishes of Inverary and Dalavich on the east and north-east; and by those of Kilmartin, North Knapdale [continued on page 2]

New Stat [Statistical] Account. "About the year 1650, a commission of Parliament passed an act for dividing "Kilmichael and Glassary", which was not however carried into effect. In 1697 and 1707 attempts were made to divide the parish, but no division took place." Origines Parochiales There is no portion of this parish detached nor is there any portion of any other parish contained within the boundary of this Parish.
