It is the most westerly village in Great Britain,[2] although several tiny hamlets lie further west on the peninsula (of these, the most westerly is called Portuairk). The western linear, coastal parts of the village are Ormsaigmore and Ormsaigbeg. Kilchoan altogether{{clarifyme|date=April 2017}} has a population of about 150.[3] HistoryDonaldson{{who|date=April 2017}} equates 'Buarblaig' (now Bourblaige about 3 miles east of Kilchoan on the other side of the eastern mountain of Ben Hiant at 528m, {{gbmapping|NM546623}}[4]) with Muribulg, where the Annals of Tigernach record a battle between the Picts and Dalriads in AD 731.[5] It may also be the 'Muirbole Paradisi' mentioned by Adomnán.[4] LandmarksThe ancient Mingary Castle is on the coast about 1 km east of the village. Examples of a type of igneous rock structure called a cone sheet are found at Kilchoan. Below the slope north-west of the village street is a chambered cairn, Greadal Fhinn.[4] Ben Hiant is the highest point of the peninsula at 528 m and lies between the village and the coastal hamlet of Ardslignish.
