Notes
The NGR is for the supposed site of Kildonan Castle as given by NMRS, on the assumption that the ecclesiastical object to which 'Kildonan' originally referred is in this vicinity. However, the existence of the church or chapel is hypothetical, inferred from the name of the castle and the settlement of Kildonan in this parish. We have been unable to find any record of the hypothetical church or chapel.
