| Site of GRAVE YARD [St Mungo's Kirk] | Site of Grave Yard | William Stephen Esqr. Culross | 142 | From the remains of graves found around this old church it appears plainly that there was a Grave yard attached Mr Stephen of Culross States that the land often times fragments of human bones are dug up in different parts of the ground in which the remains of the church are situated and further states that in the oldest records in which the name occurs the church is called St Mungo's Kirk, not Chapel, and therefore argues that it was a church and not a chapel and would recommend to write on Plan "St. Mungo's Kirk (Remains of)" and "Site of Grave Yard." See also the name Kirk Brae near it. |

Note The legend and other circumstances connecting the birth
place of St. Mungo appears more of a tradition record than of authentic
history. yet considering the remote age to which is is referred, were it
not only recorded in history, it is probable that all recollection of
it would now be lost, but considering all circumstances connected
with the affair, perhaps the explanatory note on plan would be
better written thus Traditionally St Mungo's Birth Place (6th Century)
Site of Grave Yard
