Parish notes
Now part of Kiltearn KTE (western part); see Watson 1904, 85-6. For the female personal name Bríg(h) see Watson 1926, 312. This would seem to be the saint of Lemlair, although Blaeu’s form Kilmabryd might suggest otherwise. On the other hand, Bríg(h) is certainly lectio difficilior, and therefore more likely to be correct.
