on 1 2th January 1561-2, at the instance of Humphrey Cunynghame, burgess of
Dunbarton and tacksman of the teind sheaves of Inchecalzeocht, against all and
sundry the parishioners of the Parish Kirk of Inchecalzeocht, for payment of
their respective teinds. The decree was in favour of the pursuer.^

The lands of Buchanan which were annexed to Inchcalleach in 1621 had
their chapel also in Roman Catholic times. It was founded by one of the
lairds of Buchanan, and was dedicated to Our Lady, or the Virgin Mary. On
the 14th October 1474, Patrick Buchanan of that Ilk gave sasine to Allan
Makclery, chaplain of the Chapel of St. Mary of Buchanan, of an annual rent
for twenty years of twelve merks from his lands of Ladrisch and others.^ A
curious lawsuit, just on the eve of the Reformation, gives the names of two
other chaplains, and shows the terms on which they served the Cure.
