Muckairn, a Parish in Argyllshire, is bounded on the North by Loch Etive which separates it from the Parish of Ardchattan. on the East by the Parishes of Glenorchy & Inishail and Kilchrenan, on the South by the Parishes of Kilchrenan And Kilninver & Kilmelford, And on the West by the united Parish of Kilmore & Kilbride.
"The Country of Muckairn got its name, as is storied thus: One of our queens of old being long without children, desires the public prayers of the Church to Almighty God for obtaining the blessing of the fruit of the womb; and sometime after these means were used, having born a son named Evarn or Edgar, in testimony of her thankfulness for such a blessing, doted this country to the church, calling it maodh-Edharan, that is, the valley or field of Edgar; whence through tract of time, it came corruptly to be called Meucearn or Muckarn, and to be Kirkland."

The remains of this ancient church consist of the eastern gable, & portions of the side walls all in a very dilapidated Condition - It stands a few feet south of the present Parish Church
Shortly before the reformation, there was another church built in Kilespikeril, now called Kirk Town, which is now the Parochial Church. In the place where it stands there was of old (and still as yet used) a burial place, and hard by it a standing cross, with a Crucifix now removed. The stone is yet extant, without any inscription, except the image of Christ extended, and it lies in a grave instead of a tomb. It seems there was a cell or chapel here formerly, before the building of the church, denominated by or dedicated to Bishop Cyrillus, or rather the old Scottish saint Coriolanus, whence it retains the name of Kilespikeril.

"The Church of Kilespikeril situated on the left bank of the Neaunt, and said to have been built shortly before the reformation, and to have been dedicated to Saint Cyril the Bishop was latterly the parish Church.
There still remains part of its walls which seem to have undergone modern repairs"
Origines Parochiales Scotiae
"The district of Muckairn was anciently called Kielespickarrol; denoting the burying place of Bishop Cerylus or Cerullus. The walls of a small Church, built by this Saint, of excellent masonry, still remain entire"
