A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Although the SCAN gazetteer described Ardchattan and Muckairn parish as having been created in 1911 through the abolition of the parishes of Ardchattan and Muckairn, the Census lists them as a single parish from 1871 onwards, the 1871 census including a note saying that Muckairn was previously returned separately. They are shown as a single unit in Blacks Atlas, while Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer describes Ardchattan and Muckairn as being quoad sacra parishes individually, but united as a quoad civilia parish. They are always listed in poor law data as a single parish. Given this complexity, we include no specific dates of creation or abolition, apart from the final dissolution of the Scottish parish system in 1975.
We know of no alternate names.
