It mingles so gradually with the grounds on its other sides, that it cannot be represented as a hill feature, without confusing the name with the houses, & name of the villoage, which sufficiently applies to both. Th Parish Church, School & the Manse, are the principal buildings here. The population is chiefly Weavers. "Preaching Brae" lies south of the Churchyard. "THe village of Kirkhill is not well supplied with water, in the summer season in particular the inhabitants are obliged to go a considerable distance to the Burn Well, a small open Spring at the bottom of Conversion Brae" New Statistical Account. There are several Wells on the side of Kirk Burn, as well as one on the east of the road Reaching from the School to the Church. |
