Notes
NMRS records no trace of this burial ground or chapel. Campbell's reference in 1888 is, so far, the only occurrence of the name recorded. It is not clear on which side of the pre-1891 parish boundary between Fortingall and Kenmore this place lay. It may therefore have been in pre-1891 Kenmore.
