Old people still living remember bodies having been interred here, but none have been buried in it for the last 70 years. "The ancient burial ground was at Kilgour. The church which seems to have been a small building, 40 feet by 16, stood in the centre having a quire at its east end. Not a single vestige of it is now visible, the foundation of it having been dug up about 20 years ago. The farmer transported one of the ancient stone coffins into his cattle yard to form a water trough for his cattle, where it still remains, and then crowned this sacreligious act by ploughing the church yard. This old cemetery of Kilgour was used up to the beginning of the present century if not later. New. Stat. Acct." [Statistical Account] |
