Notes
Geog. Coll. i, 16: 'There is also another yearly Fair [in the parish] called St Regulus's Fair, and commonly by corrupting the name Trewel Fair, which stands on the grounds hard by the Church of Kennethmont 2nd Tuesday of October.' The site of the church now mostly occupied by nineteenth-century gravestones, it probably stood on the crest of the knoll (NMRS).
