The district gives its name to the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of forty such areas in Scotland, which have been defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.[2] The national scenic areas cover 15,726 ha, of which 10,088 ha are marine seascape,[3] and includes the whole of the island of Lismore, along with neighboring areas on the mainland such as Bender Loch and Port Appin, and the Shuna Island.[4]
  
• Burial: in Greyfriars Church, Reading, Berkshire, England at LATI: N1.4568 LONG: E0.9767 with note: In London, the Greyfriars was a Conventual Franciscan friary that existed from 1225 to 1538 on a site at the North-West of the City of London by Newgate in the parish of St Nicholas in the Shambles. It was the second Franciscan religious house to be founded in the country.[1] The establishment included a conventual church that was one of the largest in London; a stadium or regional university; and an extensive library of logical and theological texts. It was an important intellectual centre in the early fourteenth century, rivalled only by Oxford University in status. Members of the community at that time included William of Ockham, Walter Chatton and Adam Wodeham. It flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth century but was dissolved in 1538 at the instigation of Henry VIII as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Christ's Hospital was founded in the old conventual buildings, and the church was rebuilt completely by Sir Christopher Wren as Christ Church Greyfriars after the original church was almost completely destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666.

  === Life Sketch ===
  Maria de Ergadia (died 1303) was a fourteenth-century Scottish noblewoman. She was Queen consort of Mann and the Isles and Countess of Strathearn.
  Maria was a daughter of Eóghan Mac Dubhghaill, Lord of Argyll (died c.1268/1275), and thus a member of Clann Dubhghaill.
  
  She was married four times. Her successive husbands were:
  . Magnús Óláfsson, King of Mann and the Isles (died 1265),
  . Maol Íosa II, Earl of Strathearn (died 1271),
  . Hugh, Lord of Abernethy (died 1291/1292), and
  . William FitzWarin (died 1299).
  These unions appear to reveal the remarkable wide-ranging connections enjoyed by Clann Dubhghaill.
  
  It is unknown when Maria married her first husband. Her father last appears on record in 1268, when he witnessed a charter of Maol Íosa. It is possible that this could have been about the time when Maria married him. Within the same year, Maol Íosa is recorded to have owed a debt of £62 to the Scottish Crown, a sum that could have been incurred as a result of the marriage. The Earls of Strathearn were not amongst the Scottish realm's most wealthy magnates, and it is likely that Maol Íosa's marriage to the widow of the King of Mann and the Isles contributed to his wealth and enhanced his prestige. Throughout much of her life, Maria bore the title Countess of Strathearn.
  
  Maria and her third husband, Hugh, had several children. One such child of her and Hugh was Alexander. After Hugh's death, Maria was summoned to appear before parliament to answer regarding Alexander's rights to various lands. In 1292, Maria was indebted to Nicholas de Meynell for 200 marks, part of the tocher of a daughter of hers. When Maria rendered homage to Edward I, King of England in 1296, she styled herself "la Reẏne de Man".
  
  The date of Maria's fourth marriage is unknown, although her fourth husband is known to have died in 1299. Within the year, Maria received her portion of William's possesions and her dower from Alan, a son of William from an earlier marriage. Part of her dower included the wardship and marriage of John, son of Alan Logan. In 1300, John de Lyndeby, Prior of Holmcultram was appointed as her attorney to receive the portion of her dower in Ireland. In 1302, Maria died in London amongst her Clann Dubhghaill kin, and was buried along with William in London's Greyfriars church. An effigy of her second husband, and perhaps Maria herself, lies in Dunblane Cathedral.
