Kinneil Parish Church
Only the western gable of the church, with its double belfry, now remains standing. The church formerly served a large parish, including the medieval village of Kinneil, the site of which lies in the meadow to the south. The building dates back to the 12th century, probably nuilt by Herbertus, Chamberlain to the King. Herbertus granted “the Church of Kinneil with all its dues and tithes, lands, wood and plain, pasture and meadow” to Holyrood Abbey. One of its surviving bells, on display in Kinneil Museum, is dedicated to St Catherine
