Chapel [note]
"The upper parts of Appin belonged at some remote period
to the parish of Eleanmunde or Island of Saint Munde who was
abbot and confessor in Argyle about the middle of the 10th. century.
The island of St. Munde is situated in Lochleven near the place
where the River Cae discharges itself into the Loch. It contains
the ruins of a Church, which from the style of its architecture
does not appear to have been of a very ancient date, & accordingly
although the inhabitants of Glencoe and Onich belong now to different
parishes still they bury their dead in the burying ground of their
original Parish at Eleanmunde. It is not improbable that after
the reformation the peoples who disclaimed everything Popish
would pull down the Church of St. Munde & build on its ruins
