Kilblain House (at NS 2745 7641 on OS 1:500 1857) takes its name from an old burying place which was formerly close by.
Name Book 1857
The remains of a Catholic chapel stood a little below Kilblain. It is believed that the chapel was closed down at the Reformation. When the tenant was removing its stones, he found a variety of coins, in particular Cruikstone (Cruikstoun) Dollars. (These are silver pennies issued in 1565).
