In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Bridgend like this:
Bridgend, a village in Kilarrow parish, island of Islay, Argyllshire, at the northern extremity of Loch Indal, 3 miles NNE of Bowmore, and 8½ SW of Port Askaig. It has a post office under Greenock, with money order, savings' bank, and telegraph departments; and it communicates by omnibus with steamers from Glasgow to Port Askaig and Port Ellen.
