025.02 | "When King David Bruce returned from France in 1341, he was pursued by the English fleet, and driven so far from his direct course, that the first point of his Kingdom which he touched was the shore of Kinneff. In gratitude for his escape he afterwards caused a chapel to be erected on the spot, and Mass performed. The ruins of this building which were standing at the date of the last Statistical account, have since disappeared, but the bold rock under which he landed, Still bears the name of Craig David, and there is a Spring familiarly known as the Chapel Well." (New Stat Act P. 311-12 [New Statistical Account Pages 311-12]) "Of the Kirk of Kingorney there is now no trace except that a spring near the Old Site is called the Chapel Well, but ruins of the church were to be seen within these Sixty years.' In this neighbourhood King David II, landed from France with his consort Johan in May 1341." (Memorials of Angus & Mearns P. [Page] 442) |
