In his timethe Church of St Fillan, from which the strath takes its name, was a kirk ofconsiderable note, and famous for the cures wrought by its miracle-working bell,known as the Bell of St Fillan.

It was again returned to Scotland in1869, and deposited in the Museum of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries, THE MENZIES CELTIC BELL OF SAINT FILLAN.
