| KILMAGLASH | Kilmaglash | Revd. [Reverend] Mr McDonald D Montgomery Charles McArthur | 141 | This name is applied to the burying ground surrounding the above church. "The ancient name of Strachur was Kilmaglash, signifying the burying ground of Maglass (Macghlais) or Grey's Son who was the Saint honoured with the religious devotions of the inhabitants of this locality" New Statistical Account. "The old parish of Kilmaglash forms the northern part of the united parish lying chiefly on the north-east of Glen Eachaig & Loch Eck, & South-east of Loch Fyne. This church is supposed to have existed about or before the era of the crusades. There appears to be no notice of the church in any known record previous to the reformation. It is marked as Kilmaglash in the etching of Timothy Pont and Gordon of Straloch. There is says a writer in Macfarlane one Church in Strathgur not far from the ferry of Lochfyne called Kilmaglass. The church appears to have always stood as thus described." Origines Parochiales |
