020 | [situation] About 1/2 mile N. [North] from Cellardyke. Kilrenny is a small village situated about the centre of the parish, it is supposed to have derived its name from the parish church which was dedicated to St. Irenaeus, afterwards corrupted into St Irnie; the sailors used the spire as a seamark and called it Irnie, ultimately Renny Church, or Kilrenny. The principal buildings are the Church, Manse, Innergellie, Rennyhill, and the school. Joiners, Smiths, agricultural labourers etc are the chief of the inhabitants. There is one publican, and one grocer; and all the houses have gardens attached, likewise well supplied with water and a common belonging to the feuers. |
