NUNYEARDS                                                                 

NS 898 838

“Near  to  the Kirk,  about a pair of butts North West,  is  the  Nunyeards,  a Nunnerie,  in the time of popery, but now there is not any vestige of building, but  a little country house with a yeard such as are usual in that countrey for tenants.”  

(Johnstoun of Kirkland).  

The site is probably that now known as Kirkton.  The name probably arises due to the ownership of this piece of ground by a nunnery rather than the presence of the nunnery itself on the site.
