Kilmallie (Scottish Gaelic: Cill MhĂ ilidh) is a civil parish in Lochaber, in the west highlands of Scotland. It is centered on the village of Caol, near Fort William and extends to Banavie and Corpach. It gives its name to the local shinty club, Kilmallie Shinty Club as well as two local churches, Kilmallie Free Church of Scotland and Kilmallie Parish Church of Scotland.
Somerled MacMillan says that "In 1296, the English spelling of Kilmallie was Kilmalyn,.. the Anglicized form of the Gaelic Cill-Maolan (Church of the little tonsured one..) Kilmallie.. derived its name from Maolan, progenitor of the Clan MacMillan." According to WJ Watson, "A saint called MĂ illidh is commemorated in Cill MhĂ illidh..Kilmallie .. the largest parish in Scotland. About eight miles away.. is Glen Mallie... There is also Dail MhĂ illidh, Dalmally in Argyll"
