OS 6" map (1957)
Referring to the published entry on the OS map, Reid gives conjectural accounts of the monastery at Applegarth which, he says, is mentioned in a document assigned by Bain (Calendar of Documents) to c.1215. The siting is not substantiated. The only property in the parish said by available authorities to have belonged to a monastic order is the chapelry of Dinwoodie (see NY19SW 1) a possession of the Knights Templars.
Not mentioned by D E Easson (1957).
R D Reid 1930; 1958; Name Book 1857
