NS 0503 6087 Site 99 Meikle Kilmory Upper
On a bluff 200m south of Meikle Kilmory are slight wall footings of a rectangular building shown on OS1. This is the remnant of a farmstead with three buildings and yards shown on May (1780). It was then a secondary focus of Meikle Kilmory, and may have a long history as a separate township before 1500, although its name is not known.
