The church of Lagganallichie, otherwise Logie Allachie, an ancient Perthshire parish now united to Little Dunkeld, was under the invocation of an Irish bishop named Allocus.

(Undated) information in NMRS.
The parish church of Laggan-Allochie or Inismogranachan, a prebend of Dunkeld (NO04SW 1) was dedicated to St Kellach (H Scott 1923) or St Aulachy (New Statistical Account [NSA] 1845), neither of whom is mentioned by Watson. The parish was combined with Little Dunkeld in the early 17th century. The old church was still in use in 1843, but was rebuilt in 1851. The 19th century church was used as a mission chapel in 1923 but only sill-height remains survive in the churchyard, which is a walled enclosure containing some 18th century gravestones including an "Adam and Eve" stone to George Blake (d. ?1764) which is scheduled under "Early Christian Crosses and Inscribed Stones".
