Argyllshire / Strachur/Strathlachlan churches

Hi All
I have McKellar ancestors who had 3 of their children and indeed were married in Strathlachlan - they moved to Paisley in the late 1790s. However on doing some reading up on both churches it appears that Strathlachlan church wasn't built until 1792 and they married in 1782. I know most people back in the day rarely had the full on church do so get that the marriage may have been in someone's front room but would the baptisms have been the same?
I can't find anything online about the history before that - other than snippets on Wiki and Scottish touristy sites. Does anyone know of a good online source that might give me more information please?
Thanks
Ann
