Dalavich, originates from the Gaelic meaning "meadows near the River Avich".
[3] Built in traditional style, small and oblong, the church is embellished by round headed windows and is enclosed by a burial ground.
[4] It contains a stained glass window commemorating the life of local schoolmaster, Mr. Macpherson who lived across the loch at Ardchonnel.
[5] A monk by the name of St. Mochoe of Nendrum, was reputed to live, as a hermit, near Dalavich where his 'living quarters' can still be seen.
The standing stones of that site are now in the custody and care of Dalavich Church.
