"There was a chapel dedicated to St Ninian, near Kincorth, where the name is still preserved in 'Ninian's Croft'. The tenant of the farm of which the croft forms a part is bound to pay to the kirk session yearly the price of three old bolls of barley for behoof of the poor".
A Jervise 1879
The Church at Culbin is still marked by a mound known as 'Chapel Hill'. It is probably that referred to in a charter of 1586 in which mention is made of the Manse of the Chapel of St Ninian.
