Inishchonell, a beautiful islet of Kilchrenan and Dalavich parish, Argyllshire, in Loch Awe, 8 miles NE of the head of the lake, and 5 furlongs ESE of Dalavich church. Here, from the 11th century, the ancestors of the Duke of Argyll had their stronghold, Ardchonnel Castle, now a picturesque ivy-mantled ruin; hence they maintained a long and arduous struggle with surrounding clans; and hence they often sent forth their famous slogan or defiant war-shout, ` It 's a far cry to Lochow.'-Ord. Sur., sh. 37, 1876.
