025.02 | "There had formerly been a religious house here belonging to a body of Friars, as there are in the possession of the feuars, charters with such words as "Friars Dubbs." The descovery of graves by the workmen employed when the turnpike road was in making, is a further evidence of the existence of Such an Establishment, for it was near the place still known, by the name of Friars Dubbs, and it is conjectured, that these graves mark the spot where the friars had their burying ground."2 It is supposed, that the monastery stood about where the Parochial School now stands. There had formerly been a town house here, and Several Spacious Mansions, believed to be the town residences of the neighbouring lairds, but no part of these buildings now remains, yet, these circumstances Shew that the place had attracted early notice, and had been a favourite place of resort for the gentry. 2 New Stat.

Supposed site of Monastery [Note] "The adjoining parish of Bervie is supposed to have been formed at one time a portion of Kinneff. It is certain that, so far as yet known, Bervie is not mentioned as an ecclesiastical Site, if we accept the notice of it as a Seat of the Carmelite Friars until the comparatively late period of 1567, Some years ago a number of graves were discovered near a place called the Friars Dubbs the Supposed site of the Carmelite Monastery".
