Glentendill
In the seventeenth century Sir Duncan Campbell, seventh laird of Glenorchy, advanced to his son, Robert Campbell of Glenflloch and to John MacDougall in Ferlochan, the sum of 2000 merks, to construct a salt pan on his lands of Glentindell in Lorn. These pans were in operation the same year, viz. 1623. The place where they were situated is now called Salt croft, where the two modern houses are built.1
