When the “quoad sacra” parish of Iona was established in 1828, it not only consisted of the island, but also Fidden, Knockvologan, Pottie, Catchean and Creich in the Ross of Mull. All of this church parish of Iona remained in the civil parish of Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon. Then, in 1899, for the convenient of their parishioners in Ross, the church in Iona opened a subsidiary church in the district of Creich. Services are still held there by the now combined parish of Iona linked with Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon and the Ross of Mull.New Statistical Account Vol 7 (Article on Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon), publ.
