In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Minard like this:
Minard Castle, a mansion, with picturesque grounds, in Kilmichael-Glassary parish, Argyllshire, on the W side of Loch Fyne, 8 miles NE of Lochgilphead and 13¾ SSW of Inveraray. There are a post office of Minard, with money order, savings' bank, and telegraph departments, a Free church, and a large and elegant public school, erected in 1871 by the late proprietor, John Pender, Esq., M.P. The estate-5285 acres, of £1475 annual value-now is owned by Thomas Lloyd, Esq. (b. 1835).—Ord. Sur., sh. 37, 1876.
