Origines Parochials Scotiae The name of "Chapelton" is now retained to a Parish Road between the ford on the Luggie & the junction of this Parish Road with the T. P. [Turn Pike] Road. The houses of Chapelton farm stood 'till about 30 years ago. & the Site of them is marked by some trees in an arable field west of the T. P. [Turn Pike] Road. at "Auchinkilns T. P.". [Turn Pike] The Cemetery remained till about the same time. It stood within the field immediately on the west side of the Toll house of Auchinkilns. No remains whatever of the Cemetery exist, nor are there any persons in the locality, or indeed in the Ph., [Parish] who know the site of the chapel supposed to have stood here, from which the name is derived.
