Errill was the site of an ancient monastic settlement, of which the medieval St. Kieran's Church (a National Monument) is the only remnant. Also, Lisduff House, an old landlord's house located in Lisduff, Errill, had many English Royals holidaying at the household in it's day. There was also a Lisduff Train Station in the early 1800s.
