I was shocked to find this when I googled Gartocharn!

Each year, the village is the home of a Convention of the Two by Twos (also known as "Cooneyites", though they claim no name). Hundreds of evangelical "Truthers" make their way there, staying in nearby homes or on site. Followers come from around the UK, Ireland and further afield to attend. The four day long Convention is the last remaining in Scotland for this sect. The two Conventions held here consist of three, 2 – 2.5 hour meetings per day, interspersed with breaks for meals and socialising. The Conventions last from Saturday morning until Tuesday evening. In order to accommodate the numbers desiring to attend, one Convention is held in beginning of May, with a second being held usually the following week. The main worker or minister responsible at the site is Martin Sykes.
