174 | About 30 years ago (from the present time, 1863) a number of Stone Cists, of the usual description, containing human bones were found here. The present gardener - Alexander McKenzie - also found about two years ago, at the same spot, a human skeleton but without any slabs around it. The New Stat [Statistical] Account affirms that a Church stood here, but as no reasons are given, probably this is assumed from the fact of the Cists being found, as there is no tradition of any Church having stood at this place. "It is certain that a Church stood, not upon the spot where the more recent erections have stood, but close to the sea shore, on the site now occupied by the villa and grounds of W. Graham Esqr. of Kilmun" New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] |
