Kirkton, any Scottish hamlet, village, or small town, which is or was the site of a parish church. The name, in some cases, is used alone, in other cases is coupled with the name of the parish; and occasionally, when the church, hamlet, village, or town bears properly the same name as the parish, the name Kirkton is locally employed to distinguish it from other hamlets or villages within the parish. The places to which it is applied are very numerous, and most of them very small. The principal ones are in the parishes of Abbey St Bathans, Airlie, Arbirlot, Auchterless, Avoch, Balmerino, Banchory, Blantyre, Burntisland, Carluke, Cumbrae, Dunnichen, Ewes, Fetteresso, Fordoun, Fenwick, Gargunnock, Glenelg, Glenisla, Guthrie, Hobkirk, East Kilbride, Kilmaurs, Kinnettles, Kirkmahoe, Largo, Laurencekirk, Liff, Lintrathen, Neilston, New Deer, Newtyle, Row, St Cyrus, St Ninians, Slamannan, Stoneykirk, Tealing, Tulloch, and Weem.
