OS1/14/56/1 KINNETTLES Kinnettles Kinnettles Kinnettles Kinnettles Kinnettles Kinnettles New Statstical Account Old Stat: [Statistical] Account Sheriff's Returns Fullarton's Gazetter Valuation Roll County Map 038; 044 "This parish appears to have derived its name from the Gaelic word Kinnettles, signifying "the head of the bog". The following circumstances probably gave rise to it. The bottom of the extensive vale of Strathmore, which comprehends the northern part of the parish, appears, from several internal & external evidences, to have formed, at a remote period, the bed of a large river or lake, which finding a pretty level passage into a small valley among the Siedlaw hills, formed a Kind of bay or bason, which when the water was diverted into another Channel, formed a bog or marsh; at the head of that bog a church was built, probably in the twelfth century, - which gave the name of Kinnettles to the parish. It is bounded on the West by the parish of Glamis; on the North by the parishes [continued on page 2]

OS1/14/56/2 Kinnettles (Continued) [continued from page 1] of Glamis & Forfar; on the East by the parishes of Forfar & Inverarity, & on the South by the parish of Inverarity, is pretty equally divided from east to west by an oblong hill, & situated partly in the vale of Strathmore, & partly in the valley formed among the Siedlaw hillls. In consequence of this oblong hill rising nearly in the centre of the parish, the surface of the ground is generally far from being flat, & owing to its vicinity to the German Ocean, has an atmosphere of considerable humidity. At the period of the Reformation, & for 200 years after, its extent was much less than it is at present; then, the Bishop of Dunkeld was proprietor of about 200 Scotch Acres of land, which though locally situated in the parish of Caputh lay conterminous with the southern extremity of the parish, which was sold in 1758 to the Earl of Strathmore & in 1773 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland annexed them quoad sacra, to the parish of Kinnettles. The nearest market towns are Glamis & Forfar the latter 3 miles distant. There are two Villages in the parish Douglastown & Kirktown" New Stat: [Statistical] Account No portion of this parish is detached, but adjoining the South Western boundary there is a detached part of Caputh Parish.
