| CUAN | Cuan | Continued | 121 | ferry between Cuan and the island of Luing. The ferry house on north end of Luing is also called Cuan. "It appears that before the Reformation these were four Churches or Chapels within the bounds of the present Parish, which were dedicated respectively to Brenan or Brandon, Cattan, Bride or Bridget, and Coan. The place where these Churches once stood, and where the ruins of some of them are still to be seen are called Kilbrandon, Kilchattan, Kilbride and Kilchoan. When these four Churches or parishes were united the last two names were dropped whilst the other two are still retained. The Parish is generally called Cuan by the country people from the circumstance that the present Church stands near the narrow sound of Cuan (derived from the Gaelic "Cumhan" narrow) Which separates Seil from Luing." "The Church is situated in the centre of the Parish at the south end of the Island of Seil close to the ferry of Cuan. It was built about 100 years ago and accommodates 600 sitters. No seat rents are exacted." "New Stat [Statistical] Account" |
