"The population at present is about 1150. The chief village in the parish is Arntully, which consists of about 60 or 70 dwelling houses, scattered in every direction, and exhibiting a striking picture of ancient villages in most parts of the kingdom. Besides Arntully, the parish contains a few very small villages."
