Notes

The name Inchinnan appears to refer to the haugh (G innis) of (St) Uinniau. The possible existence of an ecclesiastical object for this name, as distinct from the church of St Convall at the NGR given above, is inferred from the place-name. It may be that the hypothetical church/chapel referred to by the name Inchinnan was the one which eventually became St Convall's Church, but this is by no means certain.
