Scottish Gaelic : Muasdal, a very small village on the west coast of the sparsely populated Kintyre Peninsula. The village is located directly on the A83 , which connects the peninsula Kintyre to the Central Belt . Although in particular the west coast of Kintyre was only sparsely populated in the past, already in 1750 a path through Muasdale existed, which proved to be significant enough to be listed in William Roy's map work. The Killean and Kilchenzie Parish Church is a church building of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland near Muasdale. It is the main church of the Parish Killean and Kilchenzie. Muasdale takes its name from the Norse mungasdal, the valley of monks. In 1263 King Haakon of Norway was anchored with his long ships off the coast of Gigha when his priest died. The body was put ashore at Muasdale for the Saddell Abbey monks to carry over the hills for burial.
