Kilbrandon and Kilchattan kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Lorn, later of Lorn and Mull, and synod of Argyll. Prior to the reformation there were four churches or chapels within the area served by the current parish of Kilbrandon and Kilchattan, namely: Kilbrandon, Kilchattan , Kilbride and Kilchoan. The four parishes were united in the 17th century and the latter two names were dropped. The two remaining named parishes retained their own church after they united. Kilbranden is made up of Seil, Easdale, several smaller islands and a share of the adjacent mainland. Its church, which sits upon Seil, was dedicated to St Brendan the Voyager. Kilchatten consists of Luing, Shuna, Torsay and some smaller Islands. Its church which was dedicated to St Catan and is on Luing.
