In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Lochbuie like this:
Lochbuy, a hamlet in Torosay parish, Mull island, Argyllshire, at the head of salt-water Loch Buy, 12 miles SW of Auchnacraig. It has a post office under Oban, with money order and savings' bank departments, an Episcopal church, St Kilda's (1876; 50 sittings), in 13th century Gothic, and a pre-Reformation chapel, which, lately roofed in, now serves as the mausoleum of the Maclaines, possessors of the lands of Lochbuy for more than five hundred years. ...
Their present representative, Murdoch Gillian Maclaine (b. 1845; suc. 1863), is chief of the clan, and holds 26, 843 acres, valued at £2067 per annum. His seat, Lochbuy House, is a spacious and handsome mansion, commanding a fine view. See Buy.
