Inishail

Inishail (alternate Inchald)^[1] is an island and former parish,^[2] in Loch Awe, Scotland.

Geography

The island lies at the north end of the loch in the

Kilchurn. Among the group of islets near the head of Loch Awe, Inishail is conspicuous by its grassy surface, giving it the nickname "Green Isle", as the others being more densely wooded. It is situated between the Pass of Brander at the one side of the loch, and the village of Cladich on the other.^[3]

History

The parish (no 512) is now part of the parish of

tombstones, with sculptures and devices appropriate to ecclesiastics, warriors, knights, and a peer. Some grave slabs, those having figures of armed warriors and emblematical devices, may have been taken to the burial ground of Glenorchy Parish Church in Dalmally.^[6] While the principal burial place of the Dukes and Duchesses of Argyll is St Munn's Parish Church, Kilmun, the 11th and the 12th

Dukes chose to be buried on the island of Inishail in Loch Awe.
