From The Statistical Accounts of Scotland 1791-1845

The parish of Glenurchy, - so called from the valley in which it chiefly lies, and the river which flows through it, -was of old known by the name of Clachan an disart. The valley itself takes its name from the river Urchay, which, issuing from a small lake in the braes or upland part of the parish, traverses a great part of it; and, after a run of sixteen miles, empties itself in Lochawe, close to the ruins of Caolchurn Castle. The parish still retains its [anbient? ambient?] name in all ecclesiastical deeds and records. All the minutes of session are uniformly dated at Clachan an disart. The name, as stated in the former report, signifies the temple or sanctuary of the Supreme Being. Tradition alleges, that Druidism, of old, occupied the spot on which the church now stands; that her clachan or circle of stones stood, and that her detestable mysteries were celebrated, on the hallowed spot whither the multitudes now go up to worship the God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
