FROM DICTIONARY OF THE CLYDE 1888.
A fashionable watering place consisting of superior villa residences and neat cottages on the Western shore of the Firth between Dunoon and Hunter's Quay, with which places it is virtually one, although each has it's own steamboat pier. Dunoon, Kirn and Hunter's Quay were formed into a Burgh in October 1868.

The first feu at Kirn was granted to John Brown of Stronsaul. The same year, Hugh McEwing, ferryman at Dunoon, feued an acre of land at Dhailingmhor. To keep pace with housing development and growth of steamer traffic, a private company known as Kirn Pier Company was formed. It feued the ground from Hafton Estate by a Charter dated 25th June 1846 and further ground was purchase from the Crown in 1858.

Notes:

Died at age 87

Source: The Dewar Manuscripts p81
From Mr Archibald MacLean, Glaic near South Hall. He is an old man of 85 years of age, and can tell a tale punctually, without stopping or hesitating. He lives in an old-fashioned house, with a lothin brace in the kitchen instead of a vent, which lets the heat of a fire out through the house better than a vent does. His furniture is not of the costly ornamental kind, but convenient and comfortable. His brother Lauchan is a boat-builder and has the name of being such a good tradesman that there is not a better.

Source: The Dewar Manuscripts p153: The people of Cowal call them the Macleans of the White-faced Horse. The seventeenth generation of them are in Glaic in the year 1863
