KIRKTON, a hamlet, in the parish of Glenisla,
county of Forfar, 8 miles (N. by W.) from Alyth;
containing 44 inhabitants. This is a very small place,
only distinguished as containing the church. It is in
the southern part of the parish, and on the north bank
of the Isla, which here flows in a devious course, and
in nearly a south-eastern direction, until it joins the
river Melgum behind Airlie Castle. The road from
Lintrathen to Fergus, in the parish, passes close to the
hamlet.
