Notes
At the confluence of the River Teith and the Annet Burn, neither of which is a parish boundary. The principal surviving fragment of the medieval parish church is the east gable wall, together with stretches of the adjacent north and south walls of the chancel. There are also linear features to the west that may indicate the alignment of the south nave wall. The name St Aedh's Church is a modern name, a valiant but probably misguided effort to make sense of the Gaelic dedication in the name Kilmadoc.
