[2] The Churches Entrance Porch was built in the late 60's by Stonemason Mr John Magee of Strachur.

The principal country houses there at that time were Strachur Park, Castle Lachlan, Strachurmore, Glenshellis, Balliemore, and Glenbranter.

Younger members of the MacLachlan clan currently run Inver Cottage, one of Argyll's Seafood Trail restaurants.

There is a memorial to his son Captain John Lauder, of the 8th Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, in Glenbranter who died 26 December 1916, during the First World War.

[4] Much of the Glenbranter estate was subsequently acquired by the Forestry Commission, who encourage public access to the land.

The Glenbranter camp hit the headlines in 1935 when the trainees organised public walk-outs, and again in 1936 when there was a mass meeting to protest against conditions.

It became a landing craft signals school, and was designated as a Royal Navy shore establishment, and named HMS Pasco.

[5] Food writer Lady Veronica Maclean lived in Strachur, running Creggan's Inn.
