LUNAN, a '''parish''', in the county of Forfar, 7½ miles (N. by E.) from Arbroath. The name of this place is derived from two Gaelic words signifying "the river of the lakes," supposed to have been applied from the circumstance of the river Lunan rising in a lake near Forfar, and running through two other lakes in its course to the bay of Lunan, in the German Ocean, here. In ancient times the parish was called Lônan, Lôunan, and Inverlunan. The late church, which was very ancient, was wholly taken down, and a new church erected upon its site in the year 1844; it is situated in the south-eastern portion of the parish.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43461#s10 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.
