Ellan-Vow, an islet of Arrochar parish, Dumbartonshire, towards the head of Loch Lomond , 2 ½ miles N by W of Inversnaid. It is beautifully wooded, and some of its trees are very old, said to have been planted by King Robert Bruce. It also contains ruins of an ancient fortalice of the Macfarlanes; and a vault beneath the ruins was inhabited, early in the present century, by an ascetic of the Macfarlane clan, and bears the name of the Hermit's Cave.—Ord. Sur., sh. 38, 1871.
