Its original appelation was Kilcraig, from "Kil —' a place set apart for religious worship and interment drawn from the settlements of the Culdees and Craig - a rock upon which it was situated. The imposition of the modern name of Haly or Holy Rood from which the place has now the name of Rood Yard is owing to the Romanists after they had displaced the original possessors. The Chapel Yard was formerly used as a place of interment for seafaring people strangers and those whom accident or violence brought to a premature end and it is still used as such by the family of Craigie who lately erected a vault there, and by several others who possess right of sepulture within its precincts. - Though we have called this a chapel, it is not improbable that it was a Church, the primitive characteristic difference betwixt them being, that a church possessed a burying-ground, and was entitled to administer the sacraments."
