ND25SW 18 c. 24 45 [sic].
There was a church of St Talore or Tarloc near to the village of Watten (ND 241 545).
(A MacKay 1914).
To the S of Greystones (ND 245 543), in Watten parish, is Knocktarloc - Tarloc's Knowe - (not noted in the Ordnance Survey Name Book [ONB]), but since Tarloc was a common Pictish name, it is not necessarily the site of his church. Tarloc, or Tarlogan, was a companion of St Donnan (d. 617).
(D Beaton 1909).
Information from OS c.1972.
