KILMARONOCK, a '''parish''', in the county of Dumbarton, 1 mile (W. by S.) from Drymen. The name of this place signifies "the cell, chapel, or burial-place of St.Marnoch." The parish is beautifully situated on the southern bank of the river Endrick, and on Loch Lomond. The road from Dumbarton to Drymen passes through the parish, as well as the Drymen and Glasgow road. The church was built in 1813, and is in good repair; it contains 400 sittings. There is also a '''Relief''' meeting-house.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43452#s2 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 42-61. Adapted.
