BENDERLOCH CHARTERS
The two charters that follow relate to the Benderloch, that
is the district lying between Loch Creran on the north and
Loch Etive on the south and east. In Gaelic the name is
Beinneadar-da-loch, the hill between the two lochs, corrupted
in popular speech, according to Professor Watson, into Meadar-
loch. Lying in Lome, it was, with the rest of their possessions,
forfeited by Alexander de Ergadia and his son John of Lome.
Certain parts were granted by King Robert i. to Sir Arthur
Campbell, who had already received the Constabulary of
Dunstaffnage and the maines thereof (Robertson’s Index, p. 15,
No. 15), and also a grant of lands in Appin,2 and the first of
1 Now Logie-Rait.
2 In the Register House Index this Charter appears merely as Arthure
Campbell de Kynlouchlane et aliis—but the editor is informed by the
Duke of Argyll that it is entered in an old inventory as of the lands of
Kinlochlyon, Glenstandill, Killargie, Auchingewall and others. Reddendo
a birling of 20 oars with men and provisions, and date 3 April and 24th
year of the King’s reign.
