| Kinneff and Catterline | [Continued from page 1] "extent is rocky, presenting a range of cliffs about 180 feet in height and generally with no beach intervening to separate them from the deep water. Occasionally they fall back into little bays where a narrow strip of coarse gravel is heaped up by the waves, but sand is almost unknown. Though bare of wood the soil is fertile often covered with rich verdure to the edge of the Sea, and the rugged aspect of the rocks, their deep caves and precipitous cliffs offer much that is bold and picturesque to the lovers of natural scenery." (New Stat Acct P 309.) [New Statistical Account Page 309.] "Previous to the Reformation the parish of Kinneff also included Bervie and Catterline, even so late as 1608 by a decree of the Lords Commissioners of Teinds the parish of Bervie is discerned to remain a part of the parish of Kinneff, and because there was no bridge on the river of Bervie, the minister of Kinneff agreed to keep a Suffragan at Bervie." ( New Stat. Act. P. 318.) [New Statistical Account Page 318.] "The name of Kinneff is said to have arisen from one of the Kenneths having had a hunting seat in the Parish, and the kirk sometimes called the 'church of Saint Kenneth.' The remains of an old house near the kirk were known towards the end of the last century, as St Arnty, or St. Arnold's Kill and previous to the Reformation, the church of Bervie was a pendicle of Kinneff. Kinneff was in the diocese of St. Andrews, but the kirks of Katerin (Katerline) and Kingornie were in that of Brechin." (Land of the Lindsays P. [Page] 315) (There is no detached portion of this ph. [parish] in any other ph. [parish] nor of any other in this ph. [parish] |
