The parish of Rosneath is so much of a peninsula, that among the inhabitants it is described in common parlance as "the island". At its point of junction with Row parish at Gareloch-head the distance from shore to shore is not above a mile. On the south, Rosneath is bounded by the Frith of Clyde, on the east by the Gareloch, on the west by Loch Long, and on the north by the parish of Row. Up till about the year 1643, Rosneath included within its boundaries the greater part of the present parish of Row, and was designated "the parochia within and without the isle", but at that time a disjunction was effected, and a parish church established on the east side of the Gareloch. The parish is exclusively agricultural, and has greatly increased in value by the improved cultivation adopted within recent years." (Irving's History.) There is no Detached portion of this Parish in any other Parish, nor, is there any portion of any other Parish contained in any respect within the bounds of this Parish |
