In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Lorne like this:
Lorne, dist., Argyllshire; is bounded N. by Loch Leven, S. by Lochs Awe, Avich, and Melfort, and W. by the Firth of Lorne and Loch Linnhe; is divided into Upper Lorne (lying N. of Loch Etive), Middle Lorne, and Nether Lorne; gives the titles of baron and marquis to the Duke of Argyll.
Lorne is now part of ARGYLL AND BUTE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ARGYLL AND BUTE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Lorne itself, go to Statistics.
