In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Lochgair like this:
Lochgair, a small sea-loch, a hamlet, and a mansion in Kilmichael-Glassary parish, Argyllshire. The sealoch, opening from the W side of Loch Fyne, penetrates the land 7 furlongs north-north-westward, and receives a streamlet 1¼ mile long from Loch Glashan- The hamlet, at the head of the sea-loch, 4½ miles SSW of Minard, has a post office, a small mission church of the Church of Scotland, and a public school. The mansion, in the vicinity of the hamlet, succeeded an ancient baronial fortalice, which was long the seat of extensive clan-power.—Ord. Sur., sh. 37, 1876.
