	The Churches of Glenorchy and Innishail, linked with Strathfillan
		The present Parish boundaries are different but just as extensive, being just to the south of Bridge of Orchy to the north, through Glen Orchy and then down the south side of Loch Awe beyond Eredine village, a distance of over 40 miles (on one track roads).
		The Parish of Strathfillan is a later creation and takes in part of what was Glenorchy and Innishail.
		After 1981 the parish was again enlarged by the addition of that part of the Parish of Kilchrenan and Dalavich that lay on the south side of Loch Awe, including Portsonachan and Eredine.

	Strathfillan Community Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Strathfillan Community Council has endeavoured to become more democratic by defining their objectives in consultation with the people and laying down a policy statement as in the appendix.
		However, it is important to be cognisant that community councils operate on a voluntary basis and such a role could conceivably overbumden the individuals with responsibilities.
		This is a most important consideration: We in Strathfillan feel strongly that we should receive feedback when we have taken the time and trouble to respond to consultations on for example planning applications.

	Clan MacNab (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The ruins of his chapel are at Kirkton in Strathfillan; his "pool" and "stone bed," supposed to cure the insane, are still there.
		This was at the western end of Loch Tay, a point of great importance when there were no roads and water was the quickest means of transport.

Angus Macnab, incensed by the murder of his brother-in-law, The Red Comyn, by Robert the Bruce, joined the Red Comyn's son-in-law, MacDougall of Lorn, and defeated the Bruce at the Battle of Dalrigh in Strathfillan.

		I am representing the community of Strathfillan and am going to explain how the Charity Bank (or Investors In Society as it was, when we first met them in 1998,) helped us to achieve one of our dreams: to turn four empty derelict houses into quality homes rented to local people at affordable rents.
		Many of you may be asking yourselves ‘where is Strathfillan?’ In the centre, are the ruins of St Fillan’s Priory; running beside these is the River Fillan, and parallel to that, the very busy road that joins tour two villages of Crianlarich and Tyndrum.
		Most people pass through Strathfillan, but behind the at times unattractive built environment is a story of a community which has amazed and thrilled itself since we established our own Community Development Trust in 1997.

	MACGREGOR
		Clan leaders often took their name from an ancestor noted for some outstanding trait or exploit, and Gregor was quite possibly of royal descent.
		He had three sons: Patrick, who held the ancient homeland of Glenorchy and lands of Strathfillan; Ian Dhu, ancestor of the Macgregors of Glenstrae; and Patrick, progenitor of the MacGregors of Brackley, Roro and Glengyle.
		Patrick's son Malcolm lost the Strathfillan lands to the Campbells of Bread albane, and the Glenstrac line came to be recognised as chiefs, but not universally.

		In 1991 the Strathfillan Community Council was born out of this frustration, local community councillors wishing to play an active part in serving their community between meetings.
		In 1995 the drive, enthusiasm, and success of the Strathfillan Community Council lead to its introduction into the Corrom process, the regeneration strategy and the formation of the Strathfillan Community Development Trust in May 1997.
		This council acknowledges the value and worthiness of both the younger and the elderly members of our community and it is therefore our policy to encourage them to play an active role and to stand as councillors at elections or requesting co-option between elections.
