Inverness is a
.Irishman William Bennet came to Inverness Township in 1819, but the first colony dates to 1829 with the arrival of 12 families from the Isle of Arran, Scotland. Their descendants built two churches in the village: St. Andrew's Presbyterian (1862) and the old Methodist Church (1862), now a bronze foundry.[4]
A record of the emigration from the Isle of Arran to Megantic County was written by Dugald McKenzie McKillop, the descendant of one of those who made the journey and is recorded in his book: "Annals of Megantic County, Quebec" published in 1902.[5]
