This article appears in Volume V02, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APPIN , a coast
district
  of Argyllshire,
Scotland
 , bounded W. by Loch Linnhe, S. by Loch Creran, E. by the districts of
Bender
 -loch and Lorne, and N. by Loch Leven. It lies north-
east
  to
south
 -west, and
measures
  14 M. in length by 7 M. in breadth. The scenery of the coast is extremely beautiful, and inland the country is rugged and mountainous. The principal hills are the
double
  peaks of Ben Vair (3362 ft. and 3284 ft.) and Creag Ghorm (2372 ft.) in the north, and Fraochie (2883 ft.), Meall Ban (2148 ft.) and Ben Mhic na Ceisich (2093 ft.) near the right flank of Glen Creran. The
chief
  streams are the Coe and Laroch, flowing into Loch Leven, the Duror and Salachan flowing into Loch Linnhe, and the Iola and Creran flowing into Loch Creran. The leading
industries
  comprise slate and granite quarries and lead mining. Ballachulish, Duror, Portnacroish, Appin and Port Appin are the principal villages. Ballachulish and Port Appin are ports of
call
  for steamers, and the Caledonian railway company's branch line from Connel Ferry to Ballachulish runs through the coast land and has stations at Creagan, Appin, Duror, Kentallen and Ballachulish Ferry. Appin was the country of a branch of the Stewarts.
