Notes

NMRS records this site, beside Tom ma Chisaig (for Mo Chessaig) as the site of the Old Parish Church of Callander. There is a graveyard here, but no remains of the church. The parish church at NN628079 appears to have been built here in 1773, and was replaced (on the same site) by a new building in 1883 (NMRS). See also CORPUS for this as probable site of medieval parish kirk.
