St. Ninian, and which was called, in Gaelic Kil-an Ringan, signifying the chapel of St. Ninian; and a [place ?] of
adjacent was called the Chapel Croft. At the place where the chapel stood there is now a gentlemen's Seat
which is called Kilsaint Ninian, or Kil-an-Ringan, the last whereof was the ancient name of Celtic times"
