Kingennie Chapel [notes]
The name Kingennie appears to be from the
Gaelic Ceann gaineich i.e The Sand Head, or Hill.

The occupier of Kingennie farm Mr. Webster speaks
about the site of a Castle which he says was called Castle Gothrough
from which he traces the origin of the name Guthrie and points out the site in a
field close to the farm steading, but no other person could be found who knew
anything concerning this castle for which reason it has not been written.
