In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles
described Glenelg like this: Glenelg, par. and vil. with quay,
W. Inverness-shire -- par., 134,778 ac., pop. 1601; vil., on
Glenelg Bay, 7 miles SW. of Lochalsh; P.O. The par. is divided,
by Loch Hourn and Loch Nevis, into the 3 districts of Glenelg,
Knoydart, and Morar. A Vision of Britain through Time includes a
large library of local statistics for administrative units. For
the best overall sense of how the area containing Glenelg has
changed, please see our redistricted information for the modern
district of Highland. More detailed statistical data are
available under Units and statistics, which includes both
administrative units covering Glenelg and units named after it.
