"The ancient parish comprised besides the isle of
Inchcailyoch, most of the neighbouring islands,
and a high mountainous tract on the eastern shores
of the lake, including the ridge of Benlomond.
In 1621, it was increased by the annexation of the
forty pound lands of Buchanan, which were, by
an act of Privy Council, disjoined from Luss.
The ancient church of Inchcailyoch stood near the
shore of the island and was in use subsequent to
1621. It was dedicated to Kentigerna, a holy widow,
sister of St. Congan, and mother of St. Fillan."

Some years after the annexation the walls of the Church of Inchcailloch failing, and the people not finding it convenient every Sabbath especially in stormy weather, to be crossing over to the Island, worship was performed in a church near the house of Buchanan. See Name Sheet to the "Old Grave Yard authorized and described on 1/2500 work Trace 6. 14. 13, which was originally a Chapel of Ease to the Parish of Luss. From this Chapel which was called the Church or Chapel of Buchanan, the whole united Parish came by degrees to be called the Parish of Buchanan.

"This lake has received its present name Ben Lomond, which probably derives its appellation from the British Slumon, signifying 'A Beacon'. It is only from the 14th century that the lake has received its present name. Previously it was called Loch Leven, as appears from the chartularies of Lennox".
"Loch Lomond, the Queen of Scottish lakes, is distant about 20 miles from Glasgow, and 6 from Dumbarton. It lies principally in Dumbartonshire, but Stirlingshire bounds a portion of its eastern shore, It is nearly 30 miles long, and at its southern end from 4 to 5 miles broad, at the middle, however, and towards the northern extremity, its breadth is greatly diminished, - in some places to less than a mile, The depth of the lake varies as much as its breadth; the southern portion seldom exceeding 60 feet, whilst north of Luss, it increases to 360 feet, Thirty islands of different sizes, are scattered over its surface, some of which rise to a considerable height, and most of the larger ones are finely wooded.

[continued from page 22] "The lake lies completely imbedded amidst different ranges of hills, At the south end, the Kilpatrick hills terminate near Kilmaronock; on the western shore are the mountains of Luss and Arrochar; at the upper extremity tower the mountains of Glenfalloch; and on the eastern shore the great chain of the Grampians terminates in Benlomond, These ranges of hills are intersected by deep glens and numerous mountain streams which pour their waters into the lake. The rivulets of Fruin, Luss, Finlass, and Duglass, with many smaller streams, drain the highlands of Dumbartonshire; but the longest river which comes into Loch Lomond is the Endrick, which flows into the south-east corner of the loch," Numerous splendid mansions with their richly wooded grounds, are studded around the shores, at the bases of the hills, or the openings of the valleys, adding the beauties of cultivation and art to those of nature, but it is the inconceivable variety afforded by the numberless projecting headlands and receding bays, and by all the crowd of fairy islands which lie scattered over the surface of the lake, which forms the distinguishing charm of the whole, and presents an inexhaustible source of pleasure and delight to the cultivated tourist," Fullarton's Gazetteer. |
