Kintrae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
57°40′18″N 3°22′59″W / 57.6717462°N 3.3831148°W Kintrae is a hamlet in the parish of Spynie, Moray, Scotland, originally located on the southern shore of Loch Spynie.[1] The name is Celtic, meaning “the top of the tide”.[2]
Kintrae was the site of a church that was already being described as ancient ("veteri ecclesia de Kyntra") in a charter of 1203 to 1222.[1] This was probably connected to nearby Inchagarty ("Island of the Priest"), which lies 0.5 km to the west of Kintrae on a slight rise, and would originally have been an island in the loch.[1]
