Ardchattan and Muckairn is a civil parish within Argyll and Bute in Scotland.
[2] Its name derives from the 6th-century Irish monk Saint Cathan, combined with the Goidelic element ard-, or "heights".
[3] In the past Ardchattan has been co-joined with its neighbouring parish of Muckairn, on the other side of Loch Etive.
After the second world war the then owner Lieutenant-Colonel Robert (Bobby) Modan Thorne Campbell-Preston[4] married the hospital administrator and widow Angela Murray in 1950.
[5] The priory's ruins and surrounding gardens are now open to the public.
