An Island in the frith of Clyde, forming part of the shire of Bute. It lies in the mouth of the frith, or in the centre of the large bay of the Northern channel formed by the peninsula of Kintyre
on the west, & the Ayrshire coast on the east; from the former it is distant about 6 miles & is separated by the sound of Kilbrannan; from the latter, the average distance is about 13 miles, & the channel betwixt them is distinguished from the sound on the west of the island as being the frith of Clyde, From the island of Bute on the north, the least distance is 5 miles. Its greatest length from the Cock on the north, to the Struey Rocks on the south, is about 26 miles & the greatest breadth, from Clachland’s Point on the east, Drimadoon Point on the west is 12 miles. The general outline is that of an irregular ellipse, little indented by bays or inlets, the largest is that of Lamlash Bay on the East coast. Including the isles of Pladda & Holy Isle the area is upwards of [Continued on page 2]

100,000 Acres (Scots) of which about 11,000 are Arable. It is Divided by a string of heath-clad hills into the parishes of Kilbride on the east and Kilmory on the west. Its shores are rocky & precipitous, here & there fringed to the water's edge with feathery brushwood & indented by the bays of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting, Machrie, Drimadoon and Ranza. The northern half consists of a mass of peaked & rugged mountains, intersected by deep & wild glens, of which Goat Fell is the highest. The mountains are naturally divided into three separate ridges. It offers an inexhaustible treasury of material for the Zoologist, Geologist & the Botanist The number of rock formations, sedimentary & plutonic which are found within this island is truly remarkable; perhaps unparalleled in any tract of like extent on the surface of the globe; while the varied phenomena which they present in their mutual contacts & general relations to one another, are of the highest import in theoretical geology. But there is a later & a higher formation which "pieces on in natural sequence to the geology", which has a deeper & more kindred interest. Buried amidst the heath & hoary with the Moss of Ages, we discover the rude monumental remains of primeval man - the sole records which has left of his early history. The old gray Cairns, the lichen covered monoliths, the ruined forts and cells and castles of early times, lie scattered in almost every dingle, glen & moor of the Island. With the exception of two small properties, the Island belongs to the Duke of Hamilton, whose seat Brodick Castle is a short distance north of the bay of that name |

An extensive building at the head of Loch Ranza. Standing on a narrow peninsula, It is still almost entire, except that it is without the roof. The following from McArthur's Antiquities still applies.
"Lochranza Castle consists of two square towers united, apparently the work of different periods. The walls are thick and massive, cemented by a gravelly mortar, and pierced by a few small loophole windows, The entrance is on the west & conducts into the gaurdroom, which again communicates with the dungeon"... "The Castle is said to have been built by one of the Stewart Kings as a hunting seat. It is mentioned by Fordun, Circa A.D. 1400. as one of two Royal Castles in Arran". -- McArthur's Antiquities of Arran. |

Pennant's Tour of 1772 p [page] 192 |
226 |
About 30 years ago John Kerr (the authority quoted) removed from a field at Narachan the foundation of a building about 70 links in length and 30 in breadth, (as pointed out by him on ground) not a vestige of it now remains, Said by the Authorities quoted to have been a Chapel near to & surrounding it stone cists containing human remains have been discovered, indicating traces of a burial ground. It is pretty generally known as the Site of a Chapel. Mr McBride is of opinion that it is this which Sir Walter Scott in "Lord of the Isles" Styles the Convent of St. Bride.
"The ruins of the convent of St. Bride celebrated by Sir Walter Scott, in his Lord of the Isles as the lonely residence of the Lady Isabella were but recently to be Seen at Lochranza The very foundation has lately been razed and removed, & not a Stone now marks the cloisters where dwelt the Maid of Lorn". New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account]
"There is a church at the head of Lochranza built in 1795. It appears to occupy the site of an older, which is marked but not named by Blaeu about the year 1640. which Pennant
in 1772. says was founded & endowed by Ann Duchess of Hamilton in aid of the Ph. [Parish] Church of Kilbride, which Sir Walter Scott in 1815, founding probably on what is said by Pennant, styles the Convent of St. Bride.
Martin about 1700 mentions a church of St. James at the north-end of the island" |

A mountain whose summit 2875 above sea level is the highest point of the Island of Arran. Like the hills in its vicinity it is Composed of granite, and many cliffs stand out boldly on all sides of it. It is, especially to the south, covered with an enormous quantity of granite bolders. The older people speak the name as near as it can be taken down as Gaotsh-ven, which they consider to be equivalent to Windy Mountain (Gaothach Bheinn). In all probability Goat has been derived from Gaothach; and Fell from the Norse language, Fell, as signifying a high hill, is common on the Cheviot range, as also some other parts of the south of Scotland. Scott when alluding to Goat Fell in the Lord of the Isles calls it "Ben-Ghoil, the mountain of the wind"; this is evidently a contraction from all three words, Beinn Gaothach Fhell. The name is now however universally known as Goat Fell. |

The latter is probably the correct derivation. It is now well known as "Nuis" |

"At a place called Moniquil is a Small Circle of Small Stones
placed close to each other: whether a little druidical place
of worship, or of assembly; or whether a family place of
Sepulture, as is usual with the Northern nations, is not
easy to determine. If an urn is found in the centre of this
coronet. as is not uncommon, the doubt will cease."

Wilson's Arch[Archaeology] of Scotland |

"This Monastery was apparently erected by Reginald de Insulis, between 1206 & 1212. probably in connection with the monastery of Saddell in Cantyre, founded by him, and to which he granted lands in Arran, The traces of this monastery were till lately to be seen north of the Cave, beside a burying ground, which was long used as the chief place of Sepulture for Arran, till the loss of life by the upsetting of a boat led to a discontinuance of the practice"
Not a vestige now marks the site of either, but a large thorn bus, which 'tis said grows on the site of the grave yard,
"The Dean of the isles, says that on this isle of Molas, was foundit by John Lord of the Isles Ane Monastry of Friars which is decayit. But notwithstanding this, it contributed largely to the support of others on the mainland. Thus Lamlash & the lands round the bay; And those from Corry to Lochranza, were annexed to the Abbey of Kilwhinnin & those of Shiskin, Kilmore, Torelin, & Benane to that of Sandale or Saddel in Cantyre. I imagine that I must have seen the site of it from the top of Carn Baan; therefore take the liberty of mentioning it as having been a convent of Cistercians, founded by Reginaldus, son of Somerled, lord of the Isles: the same Somerled who was slain near Renfrew in 1164. Here was also a Castle belonging to the Successors of that petty prince; whose owner Angus lord of the isles, gave protection during the distresses to Robert Bruce" Pennant's Tour of 1772 p[page] 215
"In the same island Archdeacon Monro places 'a monastery of friars', which he says was founded by John Lord of the Isles, and in 1549 was decayed. It seems to be the same that is styled by Clemant the ruins of the Chapel of Saint Maeljos; And stood about a mile north, from the cave of the Saint, but with its cemetery was entirely removed about the year 1835." Origines Parochiales.
"Monro, Dean of the Isles speaks of a monastery in the Holy Isle, built by one of the sons of Somerled, And endowed by him with the lands round the bay of Lamlash; And Somerled himself is said to have built a Castle in the same island". New Stat [Statistical] Account.
"There are no ruins none to be traced but Dean Monro says that it had 'ane Monastery of Friars' founded by John, Lord of the Isles 'which is decayit'. That was in 1594; & what was then decayed, has now disappeared. It is further said that there was once a Castle here, built by Somerlid." Fullarton's Gazetteer.
"Even in the time of the dean himself (1594) the monastery was in ruins; but the consecrated ground on which it stood was for many generations after him used as a burying place by the people of Arran. The cause of its abondonment was the loss of a number of people who were accompanying a funeral to this place. The boat which carried them was upset by one of those sudden and violent squalls of wind, which the bay of Lamlash is in unsettled weather so often visited. The situation of this burying place was pointed out by a number of rude tombstones; till 2 years ago a modern utilitarian cleared the spot, and turned the bones and ashes of the dead to account, by rearing from them a crop of onions and carrots."

"Called Holy Island from its having been the retreat of Sain Maol-jos" Pennant
"In the Norwegian account of the expedition of King Maco, after the narration of the fatal storm & conflict, it is stated "The King sailed past Kumbrey (Cumbray) to Melansay where he lay some Nights. This Melansay, or isle, there can be little doubt is Holy Island in the Bay of Lamlash, which contains the cave assigned by immemorial tradition as the residence of St. Molis or Maolis, a disciple of Columba and a favorite Celtic Saint" Wilson's Archaeology. |

"St Molio's Cave" is situate on the western side of the island, And is a natural excavation in the old sea cliff
"The legend of St. Lasrian, or Molassus, is well Known to Irish Antiquaries; It was printed in the Bollandists' Collection, "Acta Sanctorum", He was born in Ireland. A.D. [Anno Domini] 566 educated in Bite by his uncle St Blaan, returned for some years to Ireland, and afterwards, when yet only twenty years of age retired to an island in Scotland where for some years he led the life of a hermit (probably in the cave which is still pointed out as his in Lamlash Isle, i.e. Isle-a-Molass. later named the "Holy Isle", About the year 614 he was elected Abbot of Leighlin, in Ireland, and was afterwards made Bishop and Apostolic legate to the church in Ireland, he died in the year 640
A large square stone in front of the cave is called the Saint's table, and beside it, a pure spring of water, which was long famous for supposed healing qualities,
"The cave of St Molio is little more than a waterworn recess in the sandstone rock at an elevation of about 30 feet from the present level of the sea. On the shore below a circular well is pointed out as St. Molio's Bath & a large block of sandstone cut perfectly flat on the top & surounded with a series of artificial recesses or seats, bears the name of the Saint's Chair. The roof & sides of the cave are covered with rude marks and inscriptions of many different periods" Wilson's Archaeology.
"Buchanan gives this the latin name of Molas or Molassa from its having been the retreat of St. Maol-jos for the same reason it is called the holy Island - St Maol-jos's Cave the residence of that holy man, his well of most salutary water, a place for bathing, his chair, and the ruins of his chapel are shown to strangers." Pennant's Tour of 1772 p [page] 214.
"The cave of St Molios, in the Holy Isle, Molios (or, as the name means in Gaelic, the shaved servant of Jesus) was a disciple of St. Columba, who, not considering the discipline of Iona sufficiently rigid, retired for greater seclusion to this lonely isle, whence he diffused the light of Christianity among the formerly Pagan inhabitants of Arran The cave which formed his residence is merely an excavation in the red Sandstone, hollowed out by the sea, when its level was higher then at present. On the roof of the cave is a Runic inscription stating the name & office of the Saint & a little raised above its floor, a shelf of rock, said to have been his bed. In the neighbourhood of the cave there is a flat stone called his dining table & a pure spring of water (his bath) much resorted to for its healing virtues" New Stat[Statistical] Account. |
