[1] In the past, Lentran was part of a much larger area of land known as Drumchardine (now situated just south of Inchmore).

In the late 17th century however, the lands making up the hamlet were bought by John Mackenzie of Clan MacFarlane.

In July 1963, Lentran saw a flock of 153 Canada geese land on its shores, following a few, much smaller incidents in Yorkshire the year before.

[3] In the area is Lentran House, a Scottish Baronial style mansion built in 1866, now a Category B listed building.

During the Second World War Lentran House was used as a camp for a Royal Air Force maintenance unit - evidence of this can be seen in murals, left by the troops on the cellar walls.
