Summary.
This map illustrates the medieval Diocese of Argyll - it also includes a portion of the Diocese of the Isles. It was presented in Cosmo Innes's "Origines Parochiales Scotiae", which was printed and published for The Banatyne Club in 1854. This work was the first to record the general history, and some of the charters, of the parishes within the Diocese. Innes's work also gathered the parishes into as comprehensive a list of Deaneries as was then possible. It is a work that continues to be a foundation for many modern studies and is a 'resource' that is still used by students of Scottish ecclesiastical history today.
The parishes are listed below in the numerical order given in the Map:
