In the early part of the Christian era Luing would have formed part of the Gaelic kingdom of [[Dalriada]]. From the 9th to 13th centuries almost all of the [[Hebrides]] came under the control of Norse settlers and formed part of the [[Kingdom of the Isles]]. However, when [[Edgar of Scotland]] signed a treaty with [[Magnus Barefoot]] in 1098, formally acknowledged the existing situation by giving up Scottish claims to the Hebrides and Kintyre, Luing and [[Lismore, Scotland|Lismore]] were retained by the Scots.<ref>Sellar (2000) p. 191</ref>

The graveyard at the ruined church of Kilchattan documents the lives of past islanders, with quarriers, sailors and crofters side by side. Gravestones of note include those of [[Covenanter]] Alexander Campbell.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.isleofluing.co.uk| title=Luing: Heritage| publisher=Isle of Luing Website| access-date=2007-07-28}}</ref>
