033 | A small plot of ground planted with Fir, and enclosed with a Paling. This is the site of an old church which Mr. Hector & the Minister believe to have been the place of worship for the family of Finhaven. "The foundation of an old church called the church of Aikenhauld. (This name not known) are still to be seen a little below the old Castle. From its situation, this must have been the Church where the family of Finhaven attended, & in all liklihood & that time the parish Church. Being almost at one end of the parish, it is probable that when it fell into decay, the other chucrh at Oathlaw being more centrally situated became the parish Church. Within the last 50 years the Church yard walls were standing, in which were a number of Monumental stones. These however have since been taken down, & applied to the purpose of making an embankment on the Lemno that runs immediately below." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] |
