Lorne (Scottish Gaelic: Latharn) is an ancient district in the west of Scotland, now part of the Argyll and Bute council area. It is within the region once named Lorna which may have taken its name from Loarn mac Eirc. However the last cartographical reference to Lorna is in 1607 with that same area being referred to as Lorne in John Speed's map of the Kingdome of Scotland dated 1610. The Black Galley of Lorne is a much used emblem in heraldry - probably most famously in the Duke of Argylls Coat of Arms.
