Kinnoull (St Andrews, Gowrie). Granted to Cambuskenneth by Robert Erskine of that Ilk and lord of the barony of Kinnoull in 1361, this grant was confirmed in that year by David II, and to the uses of the abbey by William, bishop of St Andrews, provision being for a vicarage pensionary. After two years, the abbey lost the church however, and thence forward, there was constant litigation between the abbey and other claimants, the latter finally triumphing and the church remaining independent.
