110 | In a cultivated field a short distance north from the manse and near the mouth of the River Euchan as shewn by cross on Trace, is said by the authorities quoted to have been the ancient burial place of the Parish, and that from which it has derived its name. Mr McNiven mentions that always when ploughing there he comes on large blocks or slabs of stones quite close to the surface but that he has never lifted or disturbed ant of them. "The name Kilninver is compounded of two Gaelic words viz [meaning] (Kil) a burying place and inbhir the foot of the river or water, which is descriptive of the situation of the ancient burying place or Chapel from which the name of the parish is derived."
